Marketing campaigns
Send promotions, product updates, or audience-specific announcements.
Laravel self-hosted mailing system
Run email campaigns from your own server.
PHP Newsletter gives website owners and developers a ready-to-install email marketing panel with templates, segmentation, scheduling, delivery settings, open tracking, click tracking, and downloadable reports.
What it is for
A complete control panel for website mailing.
PHP Newsletter is built for newsletters, editorial digests, promotional campaigns, service notifications, website announcements, and internal or member-only mailing lists. It is a practical fit when you need email campaign tools but prefer to keep contacts, logs, templates, and campaign data inside your own infrastructure.
Editorial newsletters
Build reusable HTML or plain text templates for regular digests.
Service notifications
Keep users informed with controlled sender settings and logs.
Private lists
Operate internal, customer, or member-only mailing lists on your server.
Features
Everything needed to build, send, and measure newsletters.
Based on the project documentation, PHP Newsletter covers the full mailing workflow: subscribers, templates, delivery, scheduling, tracking, and reports.
Subscriber management
Create, edit, activate, deactivate, remove, import, and export subscribers. Organize audiences with categories and segments.
Template builder
Create HTML or plain text campaigns with a WYSIWYG editor, priorities, custom content, and optional file attachments.
Personalization macros
Use placeholders for subscriber names, email addresses, unsubscribe links, server links, and custom values.
Delivery options
Send through SMTP, PHP mail(), or sendmail. Manage SMTP profiles, sender identity, headers, charset, limits, and intervals.
Campaign scheduling
Plan mailing by date, time, template, and category. Cron commands process scheduled campaigns and retry unsent messages.
Analytics and logs
Track sent, failed, unread, and opened email states. Review detailed mailing history after every campaign.
Redirect click tracking
Route links through internal redirects to record click activity before subscribers reach the final destination.
Public subscription flow
Use built-in subscription, confirmation, category, add-subscriber, and unsubscribe endpoints for public-facing forms.
Benefits
Own the mailing workflow instead of renting every piece of it.
The application is designed for teams that want a straightforward admin panel, predictable deployment, and campaign data stored under their own control.

Segment with categories
Group subscribers by topic, list, customer type, or region and send relevant campaigns to selected audiences.
Control delivery behavior
Set sender details, content type, charset, resend intervals, send limits, delays, SMTP accounts, and custom headers.

FAQ
Common pre-sale questions.
Is PHP Newsletter a SaaS platform?
No. It is a self-hosted web application that you install on your own server, with your own database and mailing configuration.
Can it replace a simple Mailchimp-style workflow?
For many website mailing tasks, yes. It manages lists, templates, manual sends, scheduled sends, personalization, open tracking, click tracking, and reports from a single admin panel.
What is the recommended delivery method?
SMTP is recommended for production because it gives better reliability, authentication, and control than basic mail() sending.
Does it support unsubscribe and confirmation links?
Yes. The application includes public endpoints for subscription forms, categories, add-subscriber requests, unsubscribe links, and subscription confirmation links.
Are reports available after a campaign?
Yes. The system stores send history, success and failure statuses, open data for HTML email, click records, and downloadable spreadsheet reports.
