GoodNews

GoodNews is a powerful integrated group and newsletter mailing system for the content management framework MODX Revolution. With GoodNews you can easily create mailings or newsletters and have them sent to your subscribers or internal MODX user groups automatically right from your MODX back-end. GoodNews is built with a lot of passion for details, a polished interface and easy operation. The sending process of GoodNews is lightning fast due to its underlying multithreaded sending system.

Requirements

• GoodNews requires MODX 2.3 or later up to 2.8.x
• PHP 7.0 (or later)
• MODX running on MySQL database, MSSQL is currently not supported
• PHP exec enabled on server for multi-threaded sending (optional but strongly recommended!)
• PHP IMAP extension for automatic bounce handling (optional)
• pThumb extension for automatic image resizing (optional)
• A time-based job scheduler like CRON.

In some hosting plans and server environments, cron jobs are not available, prohibited or limited. But thankfully there are many web-based cron-job providers available with free or payed cron services. Here you can find a collection of web-based cron-job providers www.cronjobservices.com.
