Thanks Ben for the translation, I added 2 more lines that need your language skills
'user_menu_subscribe' => 'Subscribe to Newsletter',
'user_menu_unsubscribe' => 'Unsubscribe from Newsletter'
if you could.
You can now blacklist and whitelist in the newsletter admin and you can even black/white list whole domains with an Astrix ie. *@somedomain.com
I ended up adding a user menu subscribe/unsubscribe instead of the profile display - since Dirk chose not to address my concerns for 4 months.
Future versions certainly could get that from geeklog itself.
This plugin uses CodeWorx phpmailer which seems far more reliable then geeklog's built-in mail functions.
I noticed you had taken down your newsletter block on yoursite.
I know I had broken some functionality with my sloppy release.
Hopefully this release fixes any issues you had and you'll continue with your translation contributions.

Another problem is many domains (read: the free ones) don't accept more than X messages from one sender at a time. That's why a mailing list software like phplist allows to limit the number of messages per each domain in one sending. Until I found this setting in phplist, domains like Gmail simply bounced my messages back (after sending to more than X users). So this option is very important. Please have it.
@lwc
I was just reading about those issues this morning.

But we're not sending in "one big send" these actually get sent one-by-one albeit very quickly.
I have not yet run into the issue you described. But have seen spam issues which relate more to mail server settings then the actual application itself. For example DNS PTR and the above SPF record.

Of course it's one by one when we're talking about a mailing list. For example, if you send to a Gmail user, then to another Gmail user, then to another...eventually Gmail starts bouncing your messages.
I am not - I repeat, not - talking about Gmail putting it in a spam folder. I am talking about actually bouncing DNS/SPF/anything-you-want approved messages back with a message that says something like "you simply can't send to so many of our users in such a short time". The more subscribers you have with the same domains, the more likely you are to fall into this problem.

This reminds me of the problem I have with my link exchange plugin. Though mine dealt with running out of processing time if you checked more than 5 to 10 links. I wanted to sit down and write a plugin that other plugins (or geeklog) could send batch jobs to, that the plugin could then initiate in the background at a predetermine time.
I never did sit down and figure out what the best way to do this was.
If it were only 10, 20 or even 30 seconds, the admin could sit and wait:
"Please wait while we process your request...."
And use ajax with setInterval or setTimeout.
But if you are talking minutes or hours, cron only.

phplist let's you do define whatever you want and just reloads by itself to start a new batch (even if it takes hours).
But keep in mind it's not a simple delay. The whole point is to delay the same domains, not to delay in general (that's an unrelated feature).
If it were only 10, 20 or even 30 seconds, the admin could sit and wait:
"Please wait while we process your request...."

LWC mentioned delays in general. I know some hosts only allow you to send so many emails every hour (or whatever).
But to answer your question
My schedule was from 1 to 30 days and then I needed the plugin to check about 3 to 4 links at a time (of about 150 in total) to ensure it didn't extend beyond the PHP execution time limit. I didn't want to use cron jobs because they can be a pain to setup for some people and they cannot be configured by the plugin (this was a plugin I was going to release but never did). I also had to make sure the website didn't freeze up whenever the batch was triggered
What I ended up doing was bury a transparent image in the html code to trigger the batch. This way the site would continue to load and the getimage.php file would check to see if a scheduled event was needed to run.
I'm using cron to send lot of emails (email to user, newsletter...). The mail form (advanced editor) send message in the DB and the cron send email every X minutes. You can set the number of email sent during each job in the code.
Feel free to use some of this code in the newletter plugin if you need.

Yes this archive seems to do is job, but maybe I need more testing...
If there is one newsletter only available for Logged-in Users, anonymous don't see any message on /newsletter/index.php?view=list like "It appears that there are no newsletters" or something like "You must sign in to see the newsletter". It could be a feature in a next version.
