Authenticated FE users can send bunch of messages to a list of recipients. This list is defined as a dynamic selection in a FE module (Vidi).
When the user hits the sending button, Mailing is preparing and delegating the messages to Messenger - which is a dependency. Messenger has a queue system to properly send mass emails and monitor the queue / sent emails. For that purpose, a scheduler task must be set up in the Scheduler module. For a small number of recipients, emails can be sent directly and by pass the queue. All that is configurable in the plugin settings in the BE.

The extension requires TYPO3 7 LTS. Install the extension as normal in the Extension Manager from the TER (to be released) or download via Composer:
"require": {
"fab/mailing": "dev-master",
}
-> next step, is to open the Extension Manager in the BE.
You are almost there! Create a Content Element of type "mailing" in General Plugin > Mailing list and configure at your convenience.
The plugin can be configured in TypoScript. Settings in the BE could override the TS value.
The Recipient list is defined in the FE module, powered by Vidi.
