I'm looking for a subscribe/unsubscribe mailing list to install on my website.

Requirements:

• PHP/MySQL;
• Cron job: uses scheduling to send email in batches;
• Multiple languages: when user is subscribing, they need to select preferred language from a drop-down;
• Send in both HTML/Text;
• Bounce-email check;
• Double opt-in: user must confirm email before being subscribed.
• Unsubscribe link: being able to unsubscribe by following a link in the email.

Any suggestions? Could be paid license as well (maximum $40). However, I'm not interested in hosted services with monthly fees.

Thanks!

Maybe have a go with List Messenger? http://www.listmessenger.com/ It's not great, but it is pretty well featured and it's all in PHP so you can hack it about if you want to.

http://phplist.com/ comes to mind

There is a number of PHP mailing list applications around, and to my surprise, almost all turned out to be total crap. At least the open source ones.

The only free one that I have used myself and was happy with is PoMMO. I don't think it can do cron-powered batch sending, and I'm not sure about automated bounce handling, but the rest should be achievable: You can create custom signup forms so language selection shouldn't be a problem (and later, putting subscribers into groups according to the selection).

It seems to have been inactive since 2008, and the back-end template needs a bit of reworking to look good in Firefox, but it has been a reliable workhorse.

Anyway. The PHPList project @Gordon suggests looks more active, which is always good in a public-facing software. Maybe try that first.
