Newsletter features: send list by parts, ip, statistics
Posted: Mon 4. Jul 2005, 22:21
Hi
Here are some ideas that might help getting the newsletter function to be one of the best. I don’t know how easy they are to implement:
I’ve been having trouble when I send the newsletter because 30 to 40 % of the emails get bounced back, this is my hosting fault, I know. But it would be easier for everyone if the newsletter function could send 30 mails from the list every 15 secs or something like that.
The other feature is to log in the DB the ip address of the user that clicks the confirmation link, I really don’t care about this one personally, but some hosting companies ask for this in their anti-spam policy. Also the year, day, hour, minute, sec of the confirmation but phpWCMS already saves this information.
Finally, it would be great if there were some integrated statistics in the back end to who (how many) opened the email, what was the link most clicked, and things like that. This would require more work, so I leave it to the end.
If I can help in any way, please let me know so.
