Is there a way to send email notifications to a list after a new story is posted?

Furthermore, can people submit their emails to this list without having to create an account?

Thanks.

D6 includes triggers and actions in core. Create an action first (admin -> settings -> actions) that sends an email, then assign it to the trigger "After saving a new post" (admin -> site building -> triggers).

It's likely that Drupal can send to a delimited list of addresses, since the help text refers to "Send e-mail to Moderation Team," but I have not tested that. You might want to create a group alias in your email system to handle list management.

If you wish, you can configure Drupal's permissions so that anonymous users can post content into unpublished status, triggering the email to your list of editors who can pass judgment and choose whether to publish.
