Maybe there is a misunderstanding. The intention is **not** to use discourse as an “e-mail marketing plattform”. Both systems mentioned (discourse and the mailman mailing lists) are only used for an **internal group of users (non-public).** We have a number of users that still do **not** use discourse for various reasons (e.g.because they think its “too complicate”, because they dont want to use a browser instead of an e-mail-client etc.). The intention is to use the activity e-mails as a **“discourse appetizer”.** The goal is to make these users more open towards the usage of discourse. This could be achieved with a number of e-mails with interesting content and links from the discourse platform which are manually sent by moderators who have access to both the discourse instance **and** the old mailing lists. The final goal is the migration of all users and their team communication to the discourse instance and the replacement of internal mailing lists. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/activity-summary-e-mail-on-demand/208034)._
