So I'm looking to implement a low cost, low demand site that essentially is used for cataloguing a list of people, with their email address, phone numbers (mobile and landline) for the purpose of mass messaging said people.

I want the users to create their own accounts, set their own passwords.

Then I want a different (much smaller) subset of users to be able to log into the site, filter the listed individuals and “mass message” them, via methods agreed to buy the senders and sendee’s.

Does this seem a viable prospect in Drupal?
I haven't yet found the module or combination of modules that I need for this, but what I've been reading so far seems promising.

This project sounds entirely suitable for Drupal.

I want the users to create their own accounts, set their own passwords.

This would be covered by Drupals 'User' module;

Then I want a different (much smaller) subset of users to be able to log into the site, filter the listed individuals and “mass message” them, via methods agreed to buy the senders and sendee’s.

You could assign rights via 'Roles' (http://drupal.org/node/22275) and use the 'messaging' module for this;

Hope this helps.
