I have a mysql database which is used to store e-mails. Can I use chronoforms to send e-mail to all these e-mails at once (the same message to all e-mails).

Is it possible to run chronoforms multiple times, changing only the recipient e-mail each time?

I think it's not possible to do this with chronoengine. I instead wrote my own component to do it.

Hi CyberCr33p,

You could do it with ChronoForms but it's a bit like using a screwdriver to drive nails. You are better off using one of the Joomla newsletter components, or even a stand alone script like PHPMailer.

One thought was to do it with multiple recipients on bcc field. But I preffer to run multiple times the JUtility::sendMail

Also I had to use a mysql query with WHERE to e-mail only customers hosted in a specific server so this was not easily done with the other newsletter components.

Here is how it looks so far:
