jrws Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hey there, What I am talking about is something similar to Aweber, I currently cannot afford their fee's so I was wondering how I can set up a mailing list so that I preprogram messages to be sent on a certain date. I think I would be using a database to store the messages, but I am not sure how to go on beyond there. Also in addition I would like to know (for learning purposes) how wordpress sets this up for their posting software, where you are able to line up articles to be posted on several different days.

jrws Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Any ideas? I have been poking around google and I was thinking I could use a cron job to check the published date or perhaps use a database field that notes what mail they are up to in a mailing set etc Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239046-mailing-list-with-lined-up-mailing/#findComment-1232149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
