Mailing list, opt-in form and email campaigns

[crzycicada]

I am interested in putting an opt-in form into my website, similar to
those cheesy sites where you can make a billion dollars from home. The
goal is to collect a visitor's name and email address, they be
automatically transferred to some database where I can then
automatically send mass emails out to the entire distribution. Does
this even exist? It doesn't necessarily have to be something in FP, I
would even buy software that provides this capability.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Based on whatever scripting language and database is supported by your web host do a search for a
pre-written Mailing Listing Manager application.

If the emails are kept in a database you could also just use and ASP script
that sends email, such as CDOSYS, CDONTS etc. You'd just loop through the
recordset sending an email for each record;

Ex:

do while not objRS.EOF
send email script
objRS.movenext
loop
