Rackspace’s Mailgun published my latest tutorial today - this was a collaboration with them. It’s a Yii Framework (PHP) applet that uses the new Mailgun PHP SDK to manage mailing lists. I find that this applet is more useful to me now than PHPList, whose development seems stalled/off course. This message is being sent with ListApp.
Here’s an excerpt and link for the tutorial:
While Mailgun is primarily known as a scalable cloud-blased email engine, its mailing list functionality provides an easy and convenient way to manage lists and broadcast messages to multiple recipients. You can send messages to Mailgun’s mailing lists via your favorite web email provider, email client, smartphone or via the API. And, Mailgun provides API’s for programmatically managing and sending to your lists. Recently, Mailgun released a new SDK for PHP to make using its API even easier.
You might find Mailgun’s mailing lists provide the core functionality you need to move away from paid email services or open source list applications such as PHPList. I use Mailgun’s list services to communicate with friends, reach out to my social communities and for business outreach.
Not only does this tutorial describe how to use the Mailgun Mailing List API to manage your own lists via PHP but it provides free, open source, installable source code for a small web-based application, ListApp, that allows you to manage and send emails via the List API using Mailgun.com.
