[Techtalk] Alternative ways to implement a mailing list...

[Tamara Harpster]

I'd suggest using a PHP based script, as you've seen mentioned already.
Hotscripts.com is a good resource for PHP scripts, both free and pay for
versions. Here is the link to the Mailing List Managers,
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Mailing_List_Managers/index.html,
just skip through the list of paid advertising, eventually you get to the
free versions. :-)

I'd recommend one, but I haven't used a mailing list web script in a while
and the last one I used was Perl based. Also, my web hosting services
provides support for a mailing list, if I chose to create one, but again,
I'm not supporting anything where I'd need to maintain a list.

good luck
