[support] mailing list manager questions

[T L]

Hey Eduard,

Why not try the simplenews module?  "Simplenews publishes and sends
newsletters to lists of subscribers. Both anonymous and authenticated users
can opt-in to different mailing lists."
http://drupal.org/project/simplenews

I think this might help you avoid issues with 3rd party app
integration/database cohabitation.

Cheers,
Tim
