Simple one way annoucement


Dear All,

I am considering writing a simple program using php, mysql and mail() function to send out announcement to my users.

Before I embarked on the project and not to re-invent any wheel that is already around. I would like to know if there is any such similar program around.

I search freshmeat and found a lot of mailing list, majordomo, etc, which I don't really need all the features. I don't need to have any subscription feature. I have my list of users and will manually add to my list when there is new user.

My simple requirement:
- Key in my msg on a php form and submit it.
- retrieve email address from MySQL db
- send it out via mail() function to users.
- a scheduler is good, so that I can schedule it to send on non-peak period.

Not to worry, I am not sending SPAM emails or ADVERTISING Email.
That's why I want it to be one way, so others cannot use my list to send SPAM.

I would like to send out announcement to like virus outbreak, technology updates to my users.

hmmm...I'm not sure what you are after exactly but do you mean something like the 'wall' command that will send a message to all users that are logged in?
