This is a simple plugin that allows the Administrator to email all registered users of a PunBB install at one time.
It is a two stage process: Compose and Confirm.
The message is sent 'From' your 'Forum Mailer' and will send to the Administrator as well.
Installation is a simple upload into the plugins directory, like all good plugins.
Can be found on the downloads page: http://punbb.org/downloads.php
Excellent. This feature has been requested quite a few times. Nice to see it in the form of a plugin 
wonderfull a last a huge leap foward in a forum that needed that option thx
Chacmool did make this for 1.2 dev but i don't think he ever got round to updating it to 1.2 full version, one suggestion, it also had the option to send to one specific usergroup which is pretty cool
yeah, i'll add the group option in the next version.
thought about that for this one - but decided to just get what i had out.
thanks
For that purpose, I suggest a select box that allows multiple selections. Preferably a usable variant thereof.
Hi, when i send mail its not adressed from the "webmaster e-mail" (noreply@jrc.nu). it is adressen from noreply@serverdomainname... How do i fix this?
Broadcast Email is using the standard pun_mail() call and should grab what's in the config table in your database for o_webmaster_email as the From: address.
not sure what to tell you.
ok, thanks anyway..
maybe an option to send the mails out in chuncks(groups of maybe 200-500) at a time with a small, couple second pause in between. with a big board this may put a big strain on a mail server.
very nice plugin by the way.
Great plugin.
I tried sending html mail but it won't work. Could this be a posssible option for the future?
HTML mail is evil!
yeah, this was written to scratch an itch - and HTML wasn't that itch.
i don't plan on attempting anything with HTML email.
feel free to piggyback off this code if you want though. it's quite simple.
I have a problem with this addon. I get the error below:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\location\forums\include\email.php on line 107
Any one know why? Please help!
I am having the same problem
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 40 seconds exceeded in d:\web\Forum\include\email.php on line 108
ANyone know how to correct this?
Yes, get a smaller community 
Although it would require quite a big community (in the millions or so :S) to reach 30-40 seconds of execution.
Try checking the code for any infinite loops
I already download this plugin and use it. It's awesome. I have 741 members and it runs smoothly. Thank you for this great plugin.
Thanks Soyuz.
i have 10K+, thing times out just like the DB Backup plugin does. oh well
hey html would make it better do something
This is handy, how does it handle massive amounts of users, though?
it should depend solely on the amount of runtime you're allowed for a single process. if your server is capping your usage, you might see a timeout.
that said, i've not had it timeout for me, but i've never run a forum with 10K users either.
it's a very simple loop - check out the code.
it sends an email to each registered user.
the way ipb's works is by using a cron job. So you don't need the page open to send the emails.
This is handy, how does it handle massive amounts of users, though?
it doesn't. i have 14K+ and it hangs forever.
An error was encountered
Error: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the forum administrator with the following error message reported by the SMTP server: "501 >: "@" or "." expected after "aribasuki" ".What wrong with my server? http://fitriarich.com
