I'm asking here after I really surfed a lot of manuals and pages on the net.

It sounds so simple:

I want to send out a notification email everytime a new entry appears. Either to a hard-coded list of email addresses or to a list of users who subscribe on their own, doesn't really matter, any solution would be ok.

I just don't find it, where/how to enable it. I tried MTOS 4.12 and MTOS 4.21.

Any help? Please idiot proof as I really already "tried everything" (tm).

Thanks in advance, Steffen

This is found under known issues:
The "Address Book" feature has been deprecated. Users wishing to re-enable this feature must add the following line to the end of their mt-config.cgi file: EnableAddressBook 1

Just put it in your movable type directory with a CSV file named notifications.csv and run it with Perl. It'll import each line of the CSV file as a notification record.

Notifications will let you send an e-mail to a bunch of addresses about a new entry, but you must manually send it.

To automatically send e-mail when you publish a new entry, take a look at [MT-Notifier](http://everitz.com/mt/notifier/index.php).
