I know there are some newsletter modules (such as simplenews) which can send mass emails. However, these newsletter modules require user subscription.

Some of my registered users may not subscribe to newsletter, but I need to send email to all users who ever registered on my site. So, I am wandering whether there is such kind of module to do this. Thanks for your help.

there is no mass mail module (that I am aware of). The only way I can think to accomplish this would be to export your user table and import the necessary email addresses into a mass mailing program. this may be able to be partially accomplished using the mailing list manager AKA mlm.module.

the above module has not been released for Drupal 5 at this point , I suppose the version in HEAD may be 5.0 ready, I would ask the developer first.

yuttadhammo has developed a mass contact module for D5. There is talk that it will be replacing the mail module, which hasn't been updated to D5 yet.

There is only one drupal module that does this. It's the Mail module:
http://drupal.org/project/mail

Unfortunately, it's only for 4.7.

Gosh. I got my site up 3 weeks ago and now have 40 members already. Things are going rather smoothly incomparison to other sites I manage. Love Drupal!

As we use the site discovering errors and other functional module issues it would be lovely to let folks know how fixes are coming along, etc to keep them engaged. Right now I must answer to each report, suggestion or concern one by one. Sort of reactionary rather than proactive communication.

I know the developers are fast at posting for the latest Drupal. My finger tips are wearing to the bone.

If you have access to the db and use simplenewsletter module, you can do the following for any version in drupal.

Run the following SQL command from withing your phpMyAdmin or similar DB manager.
SELECT `mail`
FROM `users`
LIMIT 0 , 1000

What this does is to pull up the list of email addresses from users 0 to 1000(please increase this number if you need to list more user email ids).

Then you can just select the email ids with the mouse and copy paste it into WordPad or TextPad or some text editor and get the list of comma separated email ids.

This list can then be imported from

http://www.yoursite.com/admin/content/newsletters/users/import or

http://www.yoursite.com/?q=admin/content/newsletters/users/import

Hope this helps till the mail module is ported over to newer drupal versions.

I can definitely use this on another site I'm working on. Cheers!

What do you think about using Organic Groups Mandatory Group to accomplish this? Set up a mandatory group "all" and then post to that group. True, it is possible for users to disable email notifications, if they can figure out how to do it.

Still no module for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 ?

Thanks.

if you take the time to read the entire thread, you will see there is a mass contact module that has been made available.

Unfortunately, nothing for Drupal 6 yet as far as I can track down.

I would think many many webmasters or manager want to send mail to all users. But mass contact module not available for 6. The old MAIL module was so simple and worked flawlessly. I have a community site where the site manager constantly notified all the users. It's for a condo association and he notified residents about break-ins and other important things. Now I don't know how to explain this to the client. "Umm. I upgraded your site. It's great to upgrade. You're up to date now. Except unfortunately you can no longer send mail to residents -- the one thing you used the site for 90% of the time. But remember your site is upgraded. So that's nice. When the next break-in occurs, try just screaming out the window."

hopefully your client will do more research than you have as mass contact is available for D6, it's right on their project page. http://drupal.org/project/mass_contact

It doesn't require "research" and I'm not blind. It says it right on the link: 6.x-1.0-beta2 and there a whole of pending issues. But I'll try it and see what happens.

no release and no major versioned release are two different animals.

At the moment, it's the only option I am aware of beyond creating a newletter and autosubscribing your users in some way.

It seems to be working well.

On the advuser settings page, you can select how many users to show. You can add higher values in the advuser.module, by changing the values listed in this area:

    '#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 500, 1000, 2000)),

As you can see, I added the following options:
500, 1000, 2000

Happy hacking,
