I had to look all over for a good solution to our group mailing list. We have been using Google Groups but privacy concerns directed us elsewhere. I considered Mailman but our host does not allow it. Fortunately they do provide a mail server for general use that works well with this plugin. The interface allows for easy adding and updating users. Users in the mailing group are also WordPress Users which at first seemed very unnecessary; but since our group are all part of the same organization it makes great sense and may open the door to getting more attention on the website itself. Thanks for an excellent plugin!

After many hours spent trying to make this work, including a lot of time from my hosting service and several updates in succession from the developer, I finally gave up. Don’t waste your time.

Very buggy software. Undefined variables cause pages to die before tasks are completed. The authors use long-deprecated php functions (each(), etc) so that recent (and not even bleeding-edge) versions of php; i.e., 7.2 throw warnings and fill the screens with impossible to decipher pages of warnings, etc.
I have to believe the software works somewhere, but definitely not on our systems.

Not only the plugin works wonderfully, the support is incredibly fast and helpful. Had an issue that wasn’t even directly caused by the plugin, support promptly helped me and within a few hours everything started working again.

I had reservations after using the free version as it seemed to have a mediocre interface but it was one of only two plugins that do a ListServ via WordPress. I purchased the full version and was immediately disappointed.
The user management is non-existent. Given that a ListServ is ALL about it’s users this is unforgivable. If you have more than one mailing list you’re in trouble. The import features lack any method to import directly to a mailing list. All imports are imported as WordPress users (which isn’t great either) and are not grouped or identified in any useful way. You can only add 10 users at a time to your mailing list and if you’ve imported 2000 users that’s 200 times you’ll have to add a group of ten. If you have another mailing list – good luck figuring out which are the news ones you just imported as they’re all mixed together.
Worse – the author doesn’t stand behind their product. They refused to refund because they claim I could evaluate everything in the free version. Of course, the free version lacks the importer completely.

Premium version user here.
Skype help with installation of 1-6-0 on a Saturday night at 20:30 local time for the developer.
Outstanding service and great plug in
Highly recommended ??

I downloaded and installed the free app. I had trouble getting it set up on my site. I asked the man who runs my web hosting service to help. He couldn’t solve the problem. So I asked Yumna, the author of the plugin to help. Yumna spent several hours with access to my site and solved all the issues. I’m so impressed that I will soon spring for the paid edition. Costumer service above and beyond. That’s what you can expect from this plugin. Oh, and let me say, once setup correctly, it works wonderfully. And, it is the only plugin that gives you a true listserv on WordPress.

Plugin is exactly what I wanted. Free version was exceptional – few limitations such as the number of users & number of groups, so it was definitely worth upgrading to the premium. Had a few setup issues, but support was quickly provided via email in a very timely manner. Excellent customer service & a highly recommended plugin!

This plugin is exactly what I needed. Free version worked so well that I decided to purchase the premium version. Had a few questions for support, sent an email and received a response within an hour. They were very prompt, knowledgeable and helpful.
This level of service should be recognized, so a big shout out the developers for doing such an amazing job!!

Free-Version works perfect.
Premium-Version:
Avoid frustration with the premium installation:
Do not delete the free version.
Do not copy the Premium version via ftp in the directory of the free version.
Instead:
Deactivate the free version.
Install the Premium version via the WP backend.
Activate the premium version.
The support is quick, knowledgeable and friendly.
thanks for your great plugin!
My first purchase of a product of this kind. And it’s worth every penny.

Copied from (un)RESOLVED thread since I am not getting responses…
Well Marcus, I’ve never purchased a plugin that would not work in its FREE state, but I took a chance on yours, hoping it would be worthwhile.
Paid for the plugin, got the download, de-activated the FREE version, activated the PAID version, and the plugin will not accept my license key. I added it, hit Activate License, it shows TRUE in URL for a second, then goes right back to the same screen. The only thing I see for Mailing Group Manager is WP Mailing Group License Options page, nothing shows for the list(s), users, etc. Nothing more. Really not feeling sure about the plugin…
WP version 4.4.1 using Firefox 43.0.4 on a Mac OSX 10.8.5. I don’t think I have ever had a plugin not start up for me until now. :^/

A very simple and lightweight solution!
A website I was developing required listserv capabilities for a very small list of members, and this fit the bill perfectly.
If your website has low traffic, you have to schedule cron, but if you don’t/can’t it still works. There is just a delay in the email messages going out.

To get some positive feedback here:
At my server-configuration the free version works fine.
So, give it a try!
looking forward to getting the premium version for working with more than one group.

I have given up on this. It just plain doesn’t work. I have quit using it, written off the money I paid for the premium version, and gone on to other solutions.
Buyer beware.
Updated review dated 9/30/15:
I just updated this plugin to the latest release, 1.3.1, hoping that it would fix the bugs that I had previously encountered. Now, both the free version and the paid version no longer work for me. No email is sent out to the subscribers when email is sent to the server.
It is VERY possible that this is somehow related to my hosting service, and your outcome could be much more positive.
I’m still rating this plugin at three stars instead of lower, because I think that the developer has good intentions and eventually he’ll get it to work better.
====================
Original, four-star review:
This plugin’s basic premise is great. I really need it.
If all you need from the premium version is the ability to create groups with more than 10 users, then you should be fine with the premium version.
However, message moderation in the premium version just simply does not work correctly. They’re working hard to make it work.
I’ll update this review when they fix the moderation feature in the premium version.
