I have been looking for some time for an easy to use component that sends email to CB groups of users.
This component seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but there are several problems.
1: It does not work when joomla! is not in the webserver documentroot.
Fix: In cbmailing.php, replace all (3) occurrences of '/index.php' with 'index.php' (or './index.php')
2: Sending attachments does not work.
Fix: CbMailing expects an 'uploads' directory in the root of the joomla! installation, but does not create it if it does not exist.
After creating this directory, sending attachments works.
3: In Internet Explorer (6 and 7), sending an email produces an error message "Stack Overflow in line 0", and the mailmessages are sent twice.
Fix: In cbmailing.html.php, in the javascript part, find the lines:
} else {
submitform( 'send' );
}
and replace these with:
}
return true;
After applying these fixes, CbMailing works great, and does exactly what I was looking for.

DikV - thanks for sharing the fixes. They've now been incorporated into V2.1 (along with some new features and some documentation)
