List of member's email addresses

[arreferee]

How can I get a list of the email addresses of all the members?  I would like to send out an announcement to all of them, but my host only allows 500 emails per hour so I need to break the distribution list up into groups of 500.

You could use SMF's mail queue to send them gradually rather than 500 at a time, then use the newsletter function to send them through the queue.

Alternatively, getting addresses requires going to the database and if you have EU users, you need to be careful to only get the people who agreed to getting newsletters.

Thanks.  I'll give that a try.

if you have access to the command line then i can give you a batch php script that i sometimes use as an automailer (i can cull the list accordingly, that's why i wrote it.

PM me if so.

But does that take into account preferences from members? This may be necessary for GDPR and CAN-SPAM compliance
