Something where a user inputs his E-mail (His e-mail is hidden no 1 can see it except for the admin)

The user would like subscribe to the website's Newsletters and all.. and then the admin can just send an e-mail and it would go to all those who subscribed.


However, when the e-mail is sent, the e-mails of the people it was sent to must be hidden (so they won't know other people's e-mails)

Is this possible? Thank you

I saw this in the HTML forum. You better described what you wanted here. Although, this can't be done using HTML, but it is relatively easy using PHP.

I have wanted to do this also, so here's what I did.

Start with an HTML page.

http://groups.google.com
I know the homepage states that it also does other things, but I worked around that.
Click "Create a group."
You may have to log in/sign up to Google. Do so.
Give your group a name, e-mail address and description.
Note the URL given. You'll need it. A lot.
If your group may contain explicit content, check the next box.
Choose 'Restricted' from the list.

On the next step, press 'Skip this step.'

Here's where the PHP comes in.

Use a PHP e-Mail script to e-Mail the contents of the form to you. Use your e-Mail address.

Now, whenever you get an e-Mail from the form, go to the URL of the group you created earlier.
Click Members.
Click Add or invite new members.
Click Add members directly.
Enter the e-Mail address you received under Enter email addresses to add as members (separated by line breaks).
Click Send email for each message and update.
Click Add members.

Send the newsletter to the group e-Mail address.
You and everybody you entered in the box will receive it.

Note: You must use the same e-Mail address you signed up for your Google account with to send the newsletter.

Actually, this is exactly what I need. Sorry if I was unclear, but I understand now.


Thanks for your time
