NYCPHP Meetup

[Dan Horning]

Let me make it a little simpler... 
If all you need is a simple web interface that emails out to a list that's "one-way" (admin --> user)

> None of the MS backoffice stuff is setup.  It has IIS,

> For a different site, I have one of those really cheap

> It has Mailman 2.1 which seems quite extensive - maybe too

> Ideally I'd like something simpler than Mailmain.  More user

> hopefully where I don't have to pay 200 every year.

> I've seen a lot of other PHP and ASP based list managers on 
> Hotscripts.com.
> Just wondering if there are any standouts that people here 
> have implemented.
