I tested the press mailing list software this morning, it works a treat.
Both HTML and plain text formatting available, and the list can handle bounces, self-subscription and various other things.
And the initial load-testing suggests that it can send just shy of 15,000 emails per hour.
So all I need to do now is work out how to build it into the site and make it available for use.
The thinking at the moment is that a frequent news list will exist, and a less-frequent digest type one. And that a group of volunteers will vet the messages that people want to send, mostly to reduce bias, duplication, etc and to keep the value of being on the list high.
I'll work out how to work out such stuff soon.
