Hey Eduard,<br><br>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." <a href="http://drupal.org/project/simplenews">http://drupal.org/project/simplenews</a><br><br>I think this might help you avoid issues with 3rd party app integration/database cohabitation.<br><br>Cheers,<br>

Hi there,<br>
<br>
I'm just starting with drupal and this is my first post to the list, so bare with me.<br>
<br>
I am trying to find a module that will allow me to have subscribers to a newsletter, however subscribers will not be (drupal) registered users.<br>
I believe the solution to this problem is either use mailman or phplist, however I don't have root access to the server which disables the option to install mailman. So I decided to try out phplist. After installing phplist, and pointing my browser to /lists/admin I had a message saying:<br>
<br>
"Error: Database has not been initialised ,go to initialise database to continue"<br>
<br>
I'm a bit a concerned about initialising the database, as I don't want to lose any of the data contained in it. This is, because phplist and drupal share the same database (don't have rights on the server to create a new database, that's why). In the config.php from phplist I set a different table prefix, so maybe initialising the database will just create a new table for phplist, but I am unsure. Could anyone tell me whether is safe to initialise the database or not?<br>
<br>
I also have another installation on my home computer where I have drupal-6.9 (previous one is drupal-6.12). I use this installation for testing things out. So I installed phplist in this one, and configure it. Set permissions in drupal so I can access and administer phplist module. However when I go to drupal>site_configuration>phplist I get sent back to the site_configuration page whithout being able to configure the module at all. So can't tell phplist module what table prefix or database should be pointing to.<br>
<br>
Any help is much appreciated,<br>
