1. Description

This is a beta release of my first wordpress plugin. I called it Mass Mail because it can help you sending mass mails to a custom group from your blog. This is the first version of the plugin ( 1.0).
After you install the plugin to your blog, it is setup to send emails to you users from your blog.

2. Install

Here is a description on how to install this mass mail plugin:

1. Put MassMail.php into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
2. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
3. Optional: Go to Settings panel and click on Mass Mail, fill the group you wanna send emails and your email detail.

The plugin it’s very customizable because you can specify on which table(group) you send emails. You can for example send messages to your blog users, people that made a donation for you, people that subscribed to your blog and many other groups that you wanna send a mail.

Using Mass Mail Plugin

Mass Mail Setup

After installing the plugin you should go to Settings panel, click on Mass Mail and enter the details that you are requested.
At first it is setup to use the table wp_users that means it will send mails to all your blog users. To modify the first two values to fit to your group you should look in your Mysql wordpress database and see what table are the users stored to which you wanna send messages.
Table name: - is the table name to which you wanna send mass mails.
Table email field: - is the email field table of users specified in Table name.
Sender email: - is the sender email, that will appear in the header of the user.
Sender email will be something like name@domain.com . If you want to appear more user friendly to user headers you should customize Sender email like this Name

Send Mass Mail

After you setup the details of the group you should click on Save & Send Mails -> and fill the Subject and Message and Seconds between messages.
This will be the subject and body that every user of the group will receive in his mail and the seconds that will pass between emails that will be sent. This option is to not overload the smtp server if you send many emails.
