    Have you looked at mailman?

    Hi,

    The Subscribers List in Mailman is inside database(Mysql)?

    I need a system that uses a database to support the Subscribers List.


    Best Regards, Andre.

    Why?

    Anyway, another vote for mailman... once you get it set up (somewhat non-trivial, as you need to muck about with alias in your email server) it's very feature rich, and sorta "the standard" for these things.

    If you want to "import" emails from a database into mailman, that's relatively simple once the list is set up (mass subscription, from a file... so you export your email list from your database to a text file, then use that mass-subscribe function in mailman.)

    Why does your mailing list need to use a database (mysql)?
    Mailman is simple to use, and I have seen some fairly large mailing lists out there.
