microNEWSLETTER is a powerfull Mailinglist manager for vBulletin 4. Its a real Mailinglist manager and not a mod which sends predefinied content from your site. Full of features that you can only find in stand alone PHP scripts and maybe more.
1.- How it works
Out of the box the mod comes with a ready (not removeable) mailinglist "Members". With the help of a cronjob this list is autopopulating with your Members. If a user does not wants to get emails, he just need to click the unsubscribe link.
Administrator can add as many mailing lists he wants. With the help of a semi-auto generating form visitors (or members) can subscribe to one or more mailing lists. According to your settings, an auto email is going to subscriber to confirm this subscription.
With the help of a powerfull commercial HTML editor, admin writes messages and save them for furthure use. There is a choice to test the email by sending a copy to a preset email address.
At any time admin can setup a campaign. The only that he needs to do is to choose a mailinglist, the message and the time that this email will be send out to subscribers.
There is a superior feature where you can send a message to all your subscribers even from your mobile phone. The only that you need to do is to add at the end of the subject a presetup password, to avoid spam from hackers.
When an email returns undelivered, this email is adding to blacklist and nobody else can use this email address again. Of course admin can remove it from the blacklist in case that he wants to do it.

3.- How to add a pretty form for subscriptions
It's very easy to add a nice looking form anywhere in your site. For example I've add this form in the footer, so it appears in all pages. You can do the same, or place it in header if you like. Also a good idea is to use the defualt vB banner blocks. Everything is limited by your imagination. Below you will find the code of my own form, but with a bit knowledge of HTML, you can modify it, to meet your special requirements.
<form name="newsletter" action="micronewsletter/actions.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="username" value="Name..." style="width:100px;" onfocus="if(this.value=='Name...')this.value=''" /></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="action" value="1" checked="checked" /> Subscribe</td>
<td rowspan="2">
<select name="groupid[]" size="3" multiple="multiple" style="width:95px;">
.............................
.............................
</select>
</td>
<td rowspan="2"><input type="image" src="http://www.mhellas.com/images/subscribe.jpg" name="submit" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="Email..." style="width:100px;" onfocus="if(this.value=='Email...')this.value=''" /></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="action" value="2" /> Unsubscribe</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Please replace the 2 lines of dots, with the code that you can get from microNEWSLETTER. As you can see I'm using a simple javascript call to show "Name" and "Email" as default values instead to put them beside the entry blocks. I think it looks pretty. If you want to change the text there just change the ... value=".....". If you want to remove this javascript, just remove the onfocus call.
