I'm hoping that I can have this ready to go this weekend. I've been working pretty feverishly on the multiple-vendor shipping contribution that I desperately need (and it seems like many others as well), in between getting the newsletter batch processing set up and debugging the 1.3.7 version of the Newsletters-Only Subscriptions contribution. In between the projects that pay the bills, of course. But I think it is safe to say that this WILL be a reality in the next few days. I'll be sure to keep you all posted. I should also mention that I haven't needed to touch a single core file to make this work so far, and shouldn't have to to finish it up either.

Anything new on this subject. This seems to have been a promising solution to ongoing problems with sending large numbers of emails.

Why not just get a real email manager for large mailing?

This would allow more flexibilty in what is being emailed as well as how it is being emailed ...

yeah it is a great thought, if having and external program for email throttling, but at the same time it just means one more back end for me to train my customers in. I I new on ant programs that we simple to integrate and that I could just add the back end to the zen cart admin I would do it, in a flash

oh and sparish, nudge!

My sentiments exactly, I have currently got PHPlist set up, but it's another admin interface, and more unfortunate is that you have to go through an export/import process for all new subscribed/unsubscribed customer from Zen Cart every time you want to send a newsletter. Also, I would like Zen Cart's ability to send to various groups of customers based on their activity and product notification status. If anyone has a slick way of linking the two programs email databases' that would probably be an acceptable solution too.
