Module Description
Synopsis
The Mass Contact module allows anyone with the proper permission to send a single email message to multiple users of a site, even to all the authenticated users. There are currently two methods for select users: either with user roles or taxonomy.
This module works by sending a single e-mail to your mail server with all the recipients' e-mail addresses in either the 'To:' or 'Bcc:' field. The mail server is then responsible for parsing out the recipients' addresses and forwarding the message along to everyone.
Features
* You can send a message to one or more categories of users, which are specified by role.
* Large recipient lists may be broken up into smaller chunks.
* The site administrator can control how many messages are allowed to be sent by a single person in an hour.
* The message may be sent such that the recipients' e-mail addresses are hidden from each other.
* The message may be sent as plain text or HTML, even specifying the input format filter to use. (The Drupal 7 version requires the Mime Mail module.)
* The message may include one or more binary file attachments. (The Drupal 7 version requires the Mime Mail module.)
* The site administrator may specify different texts to be placed at the beginning and/or the end of every message that is sent out.
* A copy of the message may be saved as a node.
* Users may opt-out, by category, of receiving mass mailings on their account settings page.
For more information, see the documentation.
Requirements
* Chaos tool suite (ctools)
Credits
* This module was originally developed and the 5.x-1.x branch was maintained by NoahY. Due to a CVS cleanup done in early 2008 to fix some problems, all history, including his name, was deleted.
* The 5.x-2.x, 6.x-1.x, and 7.x-1.x branches were created and maintained by oadaeh.
