I have a company that likes to send out printed catalogs to customers about once a year. I am trying to find a script that will allow me to have users sign up to receive the catalogue online. Simple enough so far... this could be done with a frontpage thing...
But the problem is that over the course of years, people move, or lose their interest in receiving a catalogue. Before I actually mail out the catalogs I would like to be able to send out a confirmation email to confirm that the address is still correct and that the person still wants to receive the catalog. Maybe having a link in the email that verify's their subscription? Then after an appropriate period, all non-responders are purged from the database and I can go ahead and mail catalogs to those who really want them. Being able to send email announcements would also be nice.
Searches for such a scripts have so far been fruitless. It is compounded by the fact that it seems to be a very hard thing to search for. Every "mailing list" script I have seen so far is for an email list only, and there are lots of them. So whenever I perform a search for anything resembling "mailing list" all I get is 10,000 email scripts.
PHP is probably preferred but I will take a look at just about anything. If someone knows of something that might work please let me know.
