[Phpwm] My site/admin project

[James Timbrell]

Hi guys,

I've had mixed results with both of these, but they're both worth a look.

http://www.phplist.com/
http://pommo.org/index.php/Main_Page

I actually prefer Pommo, as it's a lot easier to use from a user point of
view.

They both handle subscriptions etc, phpList also handles bounces too.
