I need something to manage membership of our site, which includes a forum, so that I can integrate our newsletter and some autoresponders.

Our newsletter currently goes out to about 23,000 currently. I send this from a third party service and have to download the new vBulletin subscribers each month, but I can't tell if any previous members have changed their email address during that time, etc. However, if I mass mail from vBulletin, how to I manage unsubscribers, other than manually?

I also want to have the ability for members to tick options to receive other newsletters, autoresponders, etc

Is there an add-on or system that I can integrate with to do this. There seem to be lots of other sites that have this tick system for newsletters for their members that also use a variety of forum software.

I don't need a content management system as such for the site. I just need a 'membership management' system.

Does any such thing exist?

I'll change the question slightly, how do those who send newsletters from vBulletin (via the cron job hack), managed the 'unsubscribes'. Do you have to do that manually? and can you track bounced emails?

Not an add-on as such, but has anybody tried this bit of software for managing emails from vB with bounce, etc, features?
