There is nothing that supports this functionality out of the box. However once you have defined how you want things to work then you can implement the logic for sending out e-mails by hooking in to the Umbraco API.
But how do you imagine the solution should be setup? Should editors be able to write e-mails inside of Umbraco and then they will be sent automatically at a certain time each week?
Perhaps it would be nicer to integrate Umbraco with Mailchimp and let mailchimp do the heavy lifting? Or maybe you could benefit from the newsletter studio package? http://www.newsletterstudio.org/
The short answer is that: Yes this can be done with Umbraco but in order to advice you any further how to you need to figure out the editor flow and how you want to manage e-mails etc.
cron job for emailing in Umbraco 6.1.6
Here is an outline of the technologies were are using for our project at work:
-ASP.NET MVC 4
-Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010
-Entity Framework Version 4
-Umbraco 6.1.6
We want the application to send send out daily/weekly emails to subscribed users. Basically, I believe we need to setup cron jobs.
Does Umbraco have the ability for Umbraco administrators to login, and write regular emails that could be sent out to subscribed users daily/weekly?
