Lemme Know

This plugin is currently in alpha stage. It includes only basic features like sending e-mail notifications using built-in PHP mail() function or by using external SMTP server (recommended). Work of this plugin depends mostly on the SMTP server configuration.

Lemme Know plugin allows you to send e-mail notifications only for a small amount of subscribers. There are plans to implement Cron-based solution which will allows to send notifications in chunks and omit server limitations.
