We've got Drupal up and running, and all is more or less well, but we'd like to be able to email all the registered members.

Is there an easy way to do that? Is there a module?

No module that I'm aware of, but it really would be a terribly simple one to create yourself .... :)

Hi Tim,

There are a lot of mail related modules for Drupal. including:

mail.module
massmailer.module
simplenews.module
notify.module
squirrelmail.module
Subscriptions.module

and probably more..but the one I think might be very useful for you is the user_import.module that will:

(a) allow you to import a database of users into your drupal site.

(b) as well as the normal username/email stuff, it automatically populates profile fields based on your old database as well..

and

(b) email all those "new" users with a welcome email + password + instructions/welcome to the new site type message.

Hope that helps

Thanks folks, we'll explore those. You're right, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to knock up a module, but I wanted to check there wasn't a built-in way first.
