      You might also look at Subscribe, SubscribeMe, Notify, and EmailResource.

      The first two will handle user registration. SubscribeMe allows for paid subscriptions, (but isn't being supported now).

      EmailResource sends a resource as an email (not an attachment).

      Notify sends a link to a resource on the site.

            Probably only use one or the other, either Subscribe or SubscribeMe. Subscribe works rather well, I haven't yet tried SubscribeMe. Notify and EmailResource also work similarly, you may want to try both to see which you like best.

            I also kinda like GroupEletters, however I haven't got it working yet with user groups (haven't tried real hard either). One thing I do like it for is for single, or comma separated list emails, and for serving an external campaign email for browser viewing. Manually forwarding to a small group or single email, I run it in test mode and I can also personalize it right then and there if needed. I haven't tried a really long string of comma separated (I've only run maybe 20 at a time, at most), but it's worth a try I suppose.

              It depends on what you mean. If you just want one User Group called Subscribers to send to and use your site's default template for the resources, there's isn't too much to configure except for styling the output.

              I use Subscribe and Notify at the site in my sig. and it's pretty much the default install of both, except that I've set up my own tags for user interests -- which means altering one chunk and naming it in a snippet property.

                  Sorry, I don't use FormIt at all. I use Subscribe for user registration. It registers the user and sends an email to the user. When the user clicks on the link in the email, he or she is automatically activated.

                  FormIt does not register users, so to use FormIt, you'd have to write a custom snippet to do it.

                  You might be better off with the Register snippet. See the docs for the Login Package (which contains the Register and ConfirmRegister snippets. I think you'd have to send the email to the admin with a custom postHook on the Register snippet that you wrote yourself.
