Currently Newsletter is only configured to send out one set of posts with each iteration. But we're adding multi-edition support that could address your need. I'll reach out on PM to discuss.
Any updates on this, please? I see from your blog that this product has become a success and so I thought there was a chance you might have followed through with your plan to add this multi-edition support.

We currently do not support two editions to different user groups.
We are happy to say that we do offer 25k free emails per month - and the ability for custom scheduling to meet the needs of your community. You can leverage this to offer a daily newsletter around your communities best content.
This is really a beautiful product and deserves more attention. I do have a couple of questions. I set up my newsletter and the first one was sent out. I am a little confused as to who to expect to receive the emails though? I selected usergroups to receive it. But I also see you all have a 'list builder' feature. I formatted the list builder pop up and it has started showing up on the site. I am not sure whether the newsletter only goes out to those who have 'opted in' via that list builder pop-up, or if it goes out to all registered site members based on the usergroup selections I made? Or am I supposed to choose one option or the other? I would appreciate info to those areas of confusion. The newsletter really is clean, relevant, and beautifully formatted. Kudos! We are users of your Threadloom search tool and both products are the best we have seen.
Thank you for the kind words, we also think it's a beautiful product, being used on over 1000+ forums currently, and we'd love to connect with more. Our best referral is from admins like yourself.
When we first start a newsletter, we do what is called a ramp-up process. We gradually send to your most active users so that services like Gmail, Bing, and Yahoo will recognize that the sending is legitimate versus SPAM. This warming up process is beneficial to forums, especially those older than 10 years and so on.
Example, say you have a 25,000 member forum. We would send the first newsletter to 500 users. The next newsletter would go to 2,000 as long as no red flags are raised, and so on until we reach the full member list. You do have options to limit cost, to only send to members active in the last X number of days (this feature is set by the admin in the Threadloom dashboard). One of the biggest unseen features is we monitor bounces, and blocks so if you are blocked by a security system, we work behind the scenes to recognize the issue and get you unblocked.
List Builder compliments Threadloom's Newsletter as it adds fresh addresses to your forum list that are not already on your forum user list. You send to these as well as your forum users.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thanks for the informative reply. I've got a great understanding of the newsletter feature now. Again - one of the best products to come around for vB 4 forums in years. It deserves more attention and I'll also be sharing over at The Admin Zone, my preferred forum resource site.

Looking forward to your review at The Admin Zone, we do have a product listing there as well, located here.
