I am looking around for a good mailing list application, hopefully one written in PHP.

Needs to:
Online subcribe/unsubscribe list where list members are able to subcribe/unsubscribe themselves.
Option to receive various formats (html/plaintext/PDF etc) would be nice too.
Admin section where the admin can manully add/edit/del list members.


Anyone able to recommend such application?

Hello.

I don't know any good mailing list application written in PHP. Anyway, I don't think a PHP mailing list is a good idea.

That being said, I would HIGHLY suggest MLMMJ (Mailing List Manager Make it Joyfull). which is written in C. It took us about 2 years to find out a good mailing list manager, and this one is really nice, and quite easy to setup. The list of subscriber is made of a single folder with one file for each letters of the alphabet. Like if you have "alex@domain.com" he will be in the "a" file together with the other subscribers begining with a.

There all the scripts you need that are given with that you can use for subscribing/unsubscribing.

Just type "mlmmj" on google and you will find it. The MLMMJ site is very poor, but the package itself has all needed documentation.

If you don't like MLMMJ, you can give a try with SmartList, used for all the lists of Debian.

Avoid Majordomo, Sympa, or other old type of mailing list managers.
