I have just packaged up the first release (ALPHA1) of Mailout module. Mailout provides a simple interface for sending out an email to a group of email addresses.

The group of email addresses can be defined many ways (pasted into text field, role(s), mailing lists (provided by mailout), csv file, etc.) all addative.

Mailout module also provides a template content type, so you can store email templates (broken up into header/body/footer/etc.) to be used when sending a mailout.

There are some other features, or lack there of. I want to keep it very simple, as a big part of the need for this module came from simplenews being not simple enough for our clients, and not really filling the needs they had for a module like this - quickly sending mail blasts out to a group of email addresses, and being able to use selected templates that we design and set up for them.

Interested in any feedback on my first real module. More info can be found on the project page and in the release notes:
