Mass Mail User in Joomla

Anonymous User7375 27-Feb-2012

The Mass Mail Component makes it possible for a Super Administrator to easily send an e-mail to all registered users or users in a particular group from within the Back-end of Joomla without having to start an external mail agent. It uses a completely basic text screen for the message to be entered into but this can be enhanced by using HTML code entered manually.

That is, the Mass Mail screen allows users who are members of the "Super Administrator" group to send an email message to registered users for the site. Users can be selected based on groups.

To access the Mass Mail function, first of all login to Joomla Administrator Panel and go to Users-> Mass Mail User.
