I'm not sure there is any particular approved method - any extension would only be pulling out the addresses and putting them somewhere else you can access, if one of your intended use cases is outages (yes, you could use an on-wiki extension to announce a planned outage, but if something goes wrong and the site isn't yet back up as planned, or the whole thing wasn't planned, it's not going to do much good for informing everyone about that). Simplest solution might be to just fetch all the addresses directly from the database and bcc the lot, but there's probably more elegant approaches if you want to look into pairing the wiki with a mailing list or stuff...

Hello,

I run a small (< 500 users), private Sematic Mediawiki application (MW-1.28.2) in an enterprise environment with Echo and Flow (v1.1). All my users are authenticated via RemoteAuth and have automatically populated and verified email addresses.. and I have forced them to have the "receive email from the wiki" preference set to True.

That said, I would like to send out an email to ALL my users informing them of outages, etc.. What is currently the best approach to doing so?

Having searched and read on the topic, it is not clear to me what the most approved method might be. An extension? If so which one? Is there a method using Echo? If so, how?

Thank you! -Rich
