Thanks, your information was very helpful. I think I will test the mailing list very soon.  ]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2004 17:15:29 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-to-all-users_topic2604_post62103.html#62103 <![CDATA[E-mail to all users? : The mailing list uses the same...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-to-all-users_topic2604_post61994.html#61994 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

The mailing list uses the same 160bit one way encryption of passwords that the forum uses, so should be just as secure.

But if you are using Access as the database and are worried abouthackers getting the list of email addresses from either applicationsthen you should follow the instructions that come with the applicationsof placing the database file outside of your web site to preventhackers from downloading the database.

The following article describes how to do this for the forum application, but is very simular for the mailing list:-

What I mean is the chance that hackers abuse my website/forum for sending spam, so I will have the chance of losing my domainname...

So I am a bit afraid of the Web Wiz Mailing List being secure enough. I'm not an expert on this subject, so is it safe with the default options?

Thanks again. In the mean time I published my forum for the diving-club and it is realy a great tool!! The first reactions are very positive.
I will ask the club to support the development financialy when the forum is fully functional.

Yours, Arjan

If you are worried about spam it is no different from you using themass mail function from your forum, some of your users may consider amass email from your forum as spam.

At least with the mailing list application your users have the option to un-subscribe from any future mass emails you may send.

Thanks for the reply!

I saw the Web Wiz Mailing List, but I am a bit afraid because of the danger for SPAM from my website at my provider...

Is that a realistic problem, or is it quite secure?

Thanks again!

The mass email feature of the forum is not designed as a mailing listbut a simple way of sending email text notification to users.

If you wish to use a full mailing list that allows attachements etc.and other people from your site can send mass emails then maybe youshould look at the Web Wiz Mailing List also available from this site.

The Web Wiz Mailing Listallows you to import members from other databases (first making surethey are not already in the mailing list), so you would be able toimport the members from your forum into the Mailing List and send bothHTML and Text emails, with attachments, etc.

What about sending attachments? I would like to use the forum also for a mailinglist including attachments. Is that possible?

And is it possible to allow some users to send a Mass Mail without being the forum-administrator.

I am from a divingclub, so I would like to use it to invite people to make dives...

In WWF v7.0 and v7.01 There is a section in the forum admin menu to mass email members.

Mass Email Members
From this option you can send emails to all members or members of specific User Group.

Beware if you use this though some of your users might consider this SPAM!

The easiest way to extract the emails and name would be to query the database directly.

select Author_Email, Real_Name from tblAuthor

should do it if you did not rename the tables.]]> Sun, 11 May 2003 11:40:19 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-to-all-users_topic2604_post12065.html#12065 <![CDATA[E-mail to all users? : Is there a function to e-mail...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-to-all-users_topic2604_post12061.html#12061 Author: qwqw

Is there a function to e-mail to all users? For example you need to announce something to all of the users or may be you want to send them a newsletter.

Also Is it possible to extract all users e-mails and names to send the newsletters independently of the forum script? For example you want all users to get some newsletters in a sertain period of time and you want to use another script or program for that.

thanks
