Simplenews

Simplenews publishes and sends newsletters to lists of subscribers. Both anonymous and authenticated users can opt-in to different mailing lists. HTML email can be send by adding Mime Mail module.

Simplenews 6.x supports multilingual newsletters (i18n) and actions/triggers.

Looking for a co-maintainer

I am looking for a simplenews co-maintainer. With the growth of simplenews and its number of users (> 8000) the mainenance of Simplenews is too much for one. Want to help, can do a bit of coding and willing to get your hands dirty? Please contact me (Sutharsan).

Survey

During August and September 2008, I held a survey to determine how Simplenews is used and what new functionality is desired. I published the results on my blog.

Drupal 6 development

Simplenews RC6 is now available (no more predictions whether this will be the last before the 6.x-1.0 release). The code is stable and new features are already available in the HEAD release. Keep on testing!

Before reporting an issue always test with the latest 6.x-1.x-dev release to see if you problem has already been fixed.

Known bugs

1. Simplenews and Category module are currently not compatible. See the this issue in the Category module issue queue for the current status.
2. Simplenews is not compatible with Content Taxonomy where Content Taxonomy is used as newsletter taxonomy field. See this issue.
3. Using Poormanscron can cause simplenews to send multiple copies of the same email to the same recipient. Therefore I strongly advise against using Poormanscron.. Use cron(tab) and cron.php instead. See this issue.
