I have been searching the forum for many hours about several subjects.

One thing I need on my site is a place where people (default viewers) can send email to the people in my database from the web page - whether it be to one person, groups, or all persons in the database.

I saw a post by "Heckler" from 3-27-00 regarding "Mass Mailer" & "Web mailer" MODS.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...Mass%20Mailer;#13539

I found the "mass mailer" mod in the FAQ, but from what I can see it is primarily for the admin to mail to the people in the database.

I have searched everywhere in the FAQ for the "Web Mailer" MOD to see if this will do what I need, but alas...this mod is no where to be found.

Could someone tell me where it might be?

For the internal mass mailer by JPDeni it looks like the only code defining this is for admin only is within db.cgi - sub main:

elsif ($in{'mass_mail_form'}) { if ($per_admin) { &html_mass_mail_form; } else { &html_unauth; } }
elsif ($in{'mass_mail'}) { if ($per_admin) { &mass_mail; } else { &html_unauth; } }

I think allowing mass mailing by all users could cause some major problems. This could easily be used to spam everyone in your database. You might want to consider creating an extra permission for those you trust only to use this function.

You will not find the other mod by Eliot within the FAQ but you may be able to find it by searching in the forum. At one point he removed many of his mods because he wasn't able to support them, and I'm not sure a final working copy was ever made available.
