Mass emails

How do you send mass emails in phpVMS? I would need to be able to email my users to notify them if the site will be down for maintenance etc.

I would also like to know if there is a way to make confirmation emails, so that I can be sure that users have a real email address, since I’ve already had one without a real email address - I tried to send an email, but I got a “email address does not exist” reply.

There is a mass mailing option in the admin panel.

The pilot isn’t accepted until you accept them, there is a captcha too to verify it’s a person

I can’t find it in the admin centre, where is it?

Knowing my luck, it’ll probably be somewhere completely obvious! :

I think it’s under site content, or pilot options

I just realised the problem. My PHPVMS needs updating (already!). Thanks anyway.
