True two-way group communication over email
<a href="https://wpmailster.com/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=WPMST&utm_content=plugin+repo+description" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Mailster</a> allows your users to be part of a group and communicate by email without having to log into a website. 
Similar to programs like Mailman or Listserv this plugin allows you to run a discussion mailing list.
That means that every email sent to a central email address is forwarded to the rest of the members of the list.
When members reply to such list emails WP Mailster again forwards them to the other list recipients. 
Unlike newsletter plugins this allows true two-way communication via email.

I have been using this plugin for a longer period on different sites and I am very happy with its possibilities and its versatility.



Recently, I had a problem which was related with the new EU legislation when it comes to using a from address different from the mail list address.



Although I am using just the free version (as of today...), I was supported in a superb manner with fast and helpful suggestions. At the end, those suggestions were correct and the problem was solved with some effort provided by the plugin author!



I can absolutely recommend this plugin not only or its functionality, but also for the service being provided: you are definitely not alone!



Thanks for that and kindest regards!



Michael


Besides the good functionality: Superb and efficient service!


I've been using Mailster for many years, first in Joomla and now in Wordpress. The most important thing for me is that the editors use their regular WordPress login to manage the mailing lists. And it just works.


Great Mailinglist Software and helpful support

WP Mailster allows your users to be part of a group and communicate by email without having to log into a website.
