: How do I make or setup a mailing list? I know I could program it myself, but maybe there is a simple (that's the keyword) package. I like to add a box, snippet, form or page to my site

I know I could program it myself, but maybe there is a simple (that's the keyword) package.

I like to add a box, snippet, form or page to my site for users to input their email address. Then I'd like it to automatically send email saying you have successfully subscribe. I'd want an unsubscribe link and I would be using SMTP on Google apps.

I would like to send email with HTML, so I can have a simple sentence with a complex link such as this.

I don't know if I'll get marked as spam if I try to send everyone an email at once. I'd like the software to manage it. Also, I'd like to get the emails in a simple format like CSV.

Is there a simple app that does this? if not i can write a simple form which does a simple insert (or delete when unsubscribing) and write a 200-300 line app to send my emails out for me.

Use an existing newsletter service such as MailChimp.

Not only is it free for up to 2,000 subscribers (and 12,000 messages a month), but they offer sign up forms, click tracking, autoresponders, unsubscribe links, increased chance of delivery over hacked-together DIY solutions, and much more.

There's little reason to create your own email newsletter solution when someone's already solved the hard problems for you; you could write and run your campaigns straight away instead.
