SoloMail: Send Single Posts via HTML E-mail

December 25, 2010 1:42 am / 4 Comments / shacker

SoloMail is a WordPress plugin designed to email an HTML-formatted copy of single posts (not batch digests) to site subscribers. There are quite a few solutions out there designed to send regular digests of recent posts to subscribers. SoloMail solves a different problem – you may want to cherry pick just certain posts to go out via email, and you may want the ability to “send now.”

The subscriber list can EITHER be the group of all registered users on a site OR a single address, such as a mailing list. Though you can use SoloMail either way, I recommend sending through a proper mailing list, which provides advantages such as handling and unsubscribing bounced/dead addresses, and metered sending for large lists.

Please see the included readme.txt for configuration and usage instructions.

    Doesn’t work with Custom Post Types. Is there a fix for this?

    Thank you,
    Anita

    Hi Anita – Sorry, I hadn’t thought to test that. Will try to do that soon, but no guarantees, I’m pretty booked. Source code contributions welcome.

    Hi Scot,

    Very nice working with Solo mail, are you considering an permanent option to send mail when posted. I often post via email 😉

    Anyway thanks for the module!

    Thanks Coen, glad you’re enjoying it. As for that feature request, I’m not so sure that’s a good idea – it the option was set to email upon post, it would send email each time you edit/update a post. So this one-off approach is very much intentional. Thanks for the feature request though.
