This group will discuss and devlop email solutions within Drupal. There are lots of modules that contain duplicate mailing efforts, and various modules that deal with small pieces of the overall mail puzzle. The goal of this group is to investigate existing and new modules that unify these efforts and form end-to-end solutions.
Possible areas of focus:
- Reusing mail-sending code site-wide (for user mails, subscriptions, project, etc.)
- Themeing and mime mail
- User Preferences (do not contact, text-only, etc)
- Scalable announcement/mail campaign strategies
- MLM/forum/group integration
- Inbound/mail parsing code (for forum mails, tickets, etc.)
Attachments to the registration notification/verification email
I am new to the group so this might be the wrong place but I am curious if there is a way to attach a file to the mail that goes out when someone registers. It seems not. Does anyone else think this would be useful?

Hope this will be of interest: http://drupal.org/project/mailman_groups and http://netgenius.co.uk/project/mailman_groups
Overview
The Mailman Groups module provides a level of integration between Organic Groups and Mailman mailing lists and compliments the existing Mailman Manager and User Mailman Register modules. It is probably particularly relevant to sites which operate a large number of Groups and/or Mailing Lists.

Please help to test this patch which adds free tagging support in mailhandler.
Until now it was impossible to add new tags via the taxonomy: command. Now it is.
Subscriptions vs. Notifications vs. Project issue's mail.inc
Here are some notes that I took while comparing these system, based on a couple hours of poking around and reading code. Anyone feel free to jump in here and correct me on any of this stuff, especially if you've actually /used/ either of these modules before. :P
Read moreMailout module first release (5.x-1.0-alpha1)
I have just packaged up the first release (ALPHA1) of Mailout module. Mailout provides a simple interface for sending out an email to a group of email addresses.
The group of email addresses can be defined many ways (pasted into text field, role(s), mailing lists (provided by mailout), csv file, etc.) all addative.
Mailout module also provides a template content type, so you can store email templates (broken up into header/body/footer/etc.) to be used when sending a mailout.

Read moreHOWTO build an add-on for Subscriptions module
The Subscriptions module provides a range of subscription types. Users can subscribe to individual content items, to all items of a particular content type, to all posts in a particular blog, or to all items tagged with a particular taxonomy term. The range of subscription types can be extended by additional add-on modules. This guide describes the hooks a module needs to implement to provide new subscription types.
Read moreCall for assistance: SMTP Authentication + MimeMail integration
One of the questions that came up was how to leverage the consistent theme and UI of MimeMail when you've got deliverability issues with your hosting environment.
The solution to deliverability issues is to use the excellent. SMTP Authentication module. However, due in part to Drupal's architecture and SMTP Authentication's implementation, MimeMail and SMTP Authentication may be mutually exclusive in some cases:

Connecting MimeMail and the Messaging Framework
Hi All--
Based on some ideas and requests generated during the Mail, Notifications & Messaging Framework session at Drupalcon Boston I decided to attempt a quick-and-simple plugin module for messaging which would make Allie Micka's most excellent MimeMail functionality available as delivery method for the Notifications & Messaging frameworks.
Read moreMailQ: More control over Mail
Hello. I rescently released the guts of a a more complicated module called "MailQ". It's a module that "queues" mail up before sending, however still uses which ever smtp_library (either drupal_mail default or mimemail, etc.) to send the mail.
One can read more about the module here or try out the module at http://drupal.org/project/mailq.
Mail API
I just wanted to let you guys know about a few new projects I'm working on. Mail API, IMAP API, and Webmail.
Mail API will provide both an abstraction layer for front-end webmail user interface modules, or whatever else people come up with that could use the API, and a hooking system for back-end modules that will communicate with mail servers.
IMAP API is a back-end module (obviously for communication with IMAP servers), which will implement the Mail API hooks.
Webmail is a front-end module that will provide a webmail interface for users to access their email accounts, and will use API from Mail API to access the mail server.
Email notifications
The requirements we have for email notifications on our site are quite generic. We want users to be able to selectively subscribe to notifications of various content updates and comments and to choose how they receive the notifications. Nevertheless there does not appear to be a single module that does what we want. The subscription module comes close, but does not handle subscriptions to organic groups. Of course organic groups handles subscriptions itself, but does not allow the flexibility to subscribe to individual content or content types.

Looks like Allie ported the MLM and send and news modules to 5.
@Allie - are you up for pushing some better mail queue feature into core for 6? you mentioned this work at http://drupal.org/node/28604
Read moreDesign for multi-domain OG list manager
Hello, we have posted a design for multi-domain list manager: here
<
blockquote>Understanding the possible limitation of not having access to master.cf as well as the necessity that all incoming mail be routed through mail-in.pl, it seems logical to do the routing in mail-in.pl.
What I conceive is to have a configuration option in mail-in.pl which directs it to consider multiple domains.
The values of the configuration option (ie: routing_type) will be directives indicating behavior (ie: NONE, LOCAL, DATABASE).
NONE will be the default and will provide the present behavior of honoring the mail.conf to do the appropriate database inserts for the incoming mail.
Read moreSending file attachments with Drupal
Hello Folks:
We're trying to find a solution that would allow a user with the required permissions to send out messages with MIME-appropriate attachments (jpgs, docs, xls, ppt, mp3, lord knows what else) to a mailing list compiled from all active users of the site.
The client would like to be able to create a newsletter ala simplenews and then send them out to all active users. We've tried the fix here: http://drupal.org/node/28908#comment-64510 but to no avail.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to how we might best approach this problem?
Thanks very much,
Steve
Read moreWiki editing?
(I think) I remember seeing in a demo video from Zacker some time ago, showing OG2List, that one function was that OG members could also have their own little wiki section that they could edit. Was that the case, if so, can any one share how that was achieved?
Many thanks, neil.
Read moreWhat SHARED hosts can support og2list?
This post is related to What hosts can support og2list? found at drupal.org and to Any workaround(s)? found here at groups.drupal.org.
In general, what known SHARED hosts can support og2list?
Also, and more specifically, has anyone succeeded in running og2list on a SHARED server at DreamHost.com? If YES, I'm interested in knowing how you did it and could use your help in trying to get it running.
Thanks in advance!

Read moreWhat modules are required for a Drupal 4.7.4 web site running OG2List and what is the script?
Hello! I'm using Drupal 4.7.4 and I'd like to install Organic Groups 4.7.0 and OG2List 4.7.0. on a DreamHost shared server running LAMP.
Are the "Required Modules" and "Demo Script", found at Site walkthrough for a OG2List site and which were written for Drupal 4.6.x, still valid for Drupal 4.7.4? Or does the "Site walkthrough" need updating from Drupal 4.6.x to Drupal 4.7.x?
Also, the last sentence of the Organic groups list manager module description states, in italics, "This module is currently undergoing a lot of tests. It will only be usable to you if you run your own server or have extended admin privileges." Like I mentioned above, I'm on a DreamHost shared server. Does anyone know if I'll have problems with this module since I don't run my own server? What "extended admin privileges" will I need?

Not sure what new development is happening on OG2List, or mass mailer for 4.7. I am the technology manager for Post Carbon Institute (http://www.relocalize.net) , we are running an OG site and have got OG2List working, but want to improve OG2List in a number of ways, we are also planning on expanding the module. There are 3 developers in Vancouver on our team, but we need some help. I'd like to hear from anyone else doing mail integration on where their projects are at so far. If any one has time available, I have some budget to help with further development on these modules. I would like to be able to do what google groups is doing.
