Automatically Subscribe Users to Forums with Email Notification

[chrisplough]

Hello,

I run a niche forum with a small, intimate community. I've been looking for a mod that will allow me to automatically subscribe new users (and possibly existing users) to a select set of forums and then provide them with Email updates at timed intervals (hourly/daily) which notify them of any new posts.

We don't see a lot of posts each day and my users would like to get updates when there are posts. For some of the more technical users, RSS has worked well - however the bulk of my users still prefer email notifications. I'm sure there will be a few users which would prefer not to be notified, so some ability to exclude users would be appreciated.

This is a mod that I'm willing to pay for (within reasonable limits) - so if someone's interested, please let me know!

Thanks!
