The Newsletters module allows you to author and mail out e-mail newsletters. The newsletters can be of two types:

 

Static newsletters - you edit and send out every issue manually. The newsletters are based on predefined templates.

Dynamic newsletters - the e-mails are sent out to all subscribers at a specified interval. The content is dynamically taken from a specified page.

 

The following settings can be entered:
