Title: Send an article to subscribers
Post by: UnchainedPreppers on January 22, 2021, 12:54:38 PM
I would like to send one article per day to the forums member list. Is there a way of doing this? I checked out the on line manual but nothing there or I am using the wrong look up verbiage.

Thanks,
JohnyMac

There are many questions that your post does not explain...

What do you mean "article"?
Do you want to send them a link to a post?
Do you want to send them the contents of a post?
Do you want to send some text or html?
Do you want to send something AND have it available for viewing online?

I will caution you -- sending one email a day is going to upset MANY users.
If I get one email a day from a website, I unjoin that website ASAP

I'm sorry but yes to this ^^^^
not only unjoin that site but submit it as a spam site and report it to either their host/mail service, and to the bb if applicable. and of course it then goes into my spam filters.

In the OT defense, it did say "subscribers", though I agree with the sentiment about spam.
