Note: This is a commercial product that once paid for, we will own
it and have full rights to the code. So, please don't use Open Source projects
as those come with a different license. This project is a custom development, so
bid ONLY if you are talented enough to develop this system yourself :)

Additional specs since some bidders have asked or proposed several
things that I do NOT want, some of them haven't read the description properly
but just browsed through it. Here is the clarification for some:
- The solution is to be written in pure PHP/MySQL combination running on a Linux
web server (no ASP, Perl, etc). If solution is able to run on a Windows machine
as well, even better, but Windows is not a requirement. Almost all USERS of the
system will have Windows (some will have MacOS), but actual solution will be
running on a Linux web server.
- forget password function does need to be there for accounts - end-users (if
they forget their password and wish to unsubscribe), and for admins as well. So
all passwords stored in MySQL should not be encrypted.
- if a specific business (ABC Inc) has only 1 topic (some businesses will only
have one newsletter to subscribe to as their main and only newsletter) the end
user when they subscribe should not have to select that one topic, it should be
assumed that it's the one. This just makes it less complicated for them to
subscribe as there is only 1 newsletter from that business.
- From my master control panel I need some reporting, such as how many accounts
(admins) I have in total, the list of them where I modify them (allowance,
username, password, etc), I need to have a function where I can see how many
emails has each account sent for the current month, and how many subscribers
they have in total, and things like that. Also, I need to be able to search for
a specific username (for example if an account calls me with a problem) I need
to be able to find it quickly to be able to upload or modify settings/HTML
newsletter templates/allowances for total messages sent for a month and total
number of subscribers for each account, etc. You have probably thought about all
this, but basically I just wanted to clarify it :) The system should be
comprehensive, powerful but easy to use and "pretty". The reason for
this is that the business clients will want power and features, but since they
are not computer literate it needs to be packaged for them in a "pretty
box" so they can use it easily.
- emails sent from the system (including my notices to admins and newsletters
sent by the admins to their subscribers) should be sent using the PHP's mail()
funciton with an ability to use an SMTP server as well. This should be defined
in each account's settings or preferences page. The mail() function should be
enabled by default.
If any more questions, please contact me. And please read all the info I have
provided so far. I think everything is covered and there is a very good
description of the project and what the end solution should do and look like.
