A mailing list system is what you are after. I use ccmail. I highly recommend it.

http://www.hot-php-scripts.com/php-script/CcMail_-_Mailing_List_Manager.htm

Just search http://hotscripts.com they have pretty well everything.

You probably want a form handler script and an HTML form on the frontend but since you say you are a newbie, I would just do something like "If you want to be on our list for upcoming events please email me at whatever@whatever.com"

Something like that would be fine.

I also think hotscripts is pretty good and it'll be much helpful to you.

i would just use a simple php form and have the it sent directly to ur email account so you know theyre addresses, but a mailing list manager is more advanced and organized, go with either one depending on ur experience

If you are using cpanel, your admin may have put a mailing list script in fantastico, so check there.

I use yourmailinglistprovider.com

it's quick
it's easy
it's free but with a bit of advertising pop-up
$2.50/month if you want no ads and a personalized look

You might also take a look at PHPList. It's available in Fantastico (meaning you'd only need to fill in a few form fields to install), and setting up a mailing list is quite easy. They even generate the code for you to place on your website, or you can use their generated page to link to for people to sign up at.

That it is P-nut. I love that little script! It's also good for things like volunteer applications where you need a database of all the volunteers.
