Hi, first thanks for checking out the thread. I am a complete web design cowboy, learning as I go and hoped to get some help from people who actually know what there doing

The scenario: I wish to set up a web site that contains several mailing lists, a mailing list for particular groups of people, so that many emails can be sent to the groups when there is a new activity to inform them of.

Individuals/group members will be able to add there email addresses to the mailing lists, as well as the ability to post a message to all other users on the mailing list after going through anti spam filters of some kind. This likely seems like a crayon scrawled list of needs but it will prove a valuable resource i am sure for our local community, so any help or pointers would be great. Grateful for your energy

I'm not really sure how this question is database related? I guess you want a script to manage mailing lists? Without knowing your programming language preferences it's hard to suggest anything in particular.

There are many scripts available, the most popular of which is probably Mailman although it may be a bit hardcore as it's very very configurable. Why not search the web for mailing list scripts/software and see what turns up?
