## Description

#### Summary

Subscribe2 provides a comprehensive subscription management and email notification
system for WordPress blogs that sends email notifications to a list of subscribers
when you publish new content to your blog.

A full description of features is below.

#### Email

Email notifications can be sent on a per-post basis or periodically in a Digest 
email. Additionally, certain categories can be excluded from inclusion in the notification
and posts can be excluded on an individual basis by setting a custom field.

#### Subscriptions

Subscription requests allows users to publicly subscribe (**Public Subscribers**)
by submitting their email address in an easy to use form or to register with your
blog (**Registered Users**) which enables greater flexibility over the email content
for per-post notifications for the subscriber. Admins are given control over the
presentation of the email notifications, can bulk manage subscriptions for users
and manually send email notices to subscribers.

The format of the email can also be customised for per-post notifications, Subscribe2
can generate emails for each of the following formats:

 * plaintext excerpt.
 * plaintext full post (Registered Users only).
 * HTML excerpt (Registered Users only).
 * HTML full post (Registered Users only).

If you want to grow your subscriber lists, send automated campaigns to huge subscriber
lists, you should upgrade to [weMail](https://getwemail.io).

#### Privacy Policy

Subscribe2 uses [Appsero](https://appsero.com) SDK to collect some telemetry data
upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product
improvements. Learn more about how [Appsero collects and uses this data](https://appsero.com/privacy-policy/).

For years I used this with no problem. Then suddenly I started getting daily “mail
suspended temporarily because daily limit exceeded” notices from my web host. I 
deactivated Subscribe2 and the problem stopped. Draw your own conclusions.

### 󠀁[Good but needs a big fix](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-needs-a-big-fix/)󠁿

 [pubwvj](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pubwvj/) 5 сар 1, 2021

I’ve been using this for a while but it needs a big fix. The plugin should send 
mail singly and spread out over time rather than all at once. I’m getting complaints
from my ISP that the plugin is overloading the server with huge dumps of email. 
I only have about 1,500 subscribers and if that is overloading then I can only imagine
how bad it must be with more popular blogs. Please implement this. I just downgraded
my review from five stars to one star. See… there’s a problem that this plugin creates:
it overloads the servers with email as described above. I just discovered that the
developer is offering a fix for that for $29.99 PER FREAKING YEAR!!!!! It was bad
enough that the developer creates a problem and then offers to solve it for a fee.
It was worse that the fee is kind of high – I finally decided to pay it untill I
discovered… It is absurd that the fee is a reoccurring annual subscription. No thanks.
