Introduction
Similar to programs like Mailman or Listserv this extension allows you to run a discussion mailing list.
That means that every email sent to a central email address is forwarded to the rest of the members of the list. When members reply to such emails Mailster again forwards them to the other list recipients.
Mailster allows your users to be part of a group and communicate by email without having to log into your Joomla site.
This is primarily made with discussion email lists (two way communication) in mind, although Mailster can also be used for newsletters.
