Import mailing list from previous application

Is it possible to import a mailing list from an application other than Zen Cart? I have a mailing list of customers who signed up for newsletters in a previous website I had...

Just wondering if I can add those e-mails to the Zen Database without asking all of them to re-register?

Re: Import mailing list from previous application

Are you talking about creating accounts from these or do you have the 3rd party Newsletter Subscribe module installed?

The first is most difficult as it requires a password for each.

I have a list of customers in a PHPlist list application which I thought I could insert into my Zen database without them re-register again. (need to send newsletters to the new list AND the older list of customers)

Or must I keep the PHPlist as a stand alone and send seperate newsletters to the old list seperately??

I do not believe that your phplist has any password credentials to transfer and as I stated ZenCart expects and requires a user to have a password
