This tutorial is going to show you how to setup a Newsletter on your Magento store.
First off, make sure that your newsletter is enabled on your site. From the Magento dashboard, you need to navigate to the System -> Configuration -> (Advanced) Advanced -> Disable Modules Output section and set Mage_Newsletter to "Enable".
ou also need to make sure that your SMTP settings under System -> Configuration -> Advanced -> System are valid. To configure newsletter settings on your site: In your Magento admin go to System -> Configuration -> (Customers on the left) Newsletter to open the configuration page. There you are going to see the following fields:
– Success Email Template: select a template to use for the email that your customers receive when they successfully subscribe to your newsletter. You can use the default or select a
different template.
– Unsubscription Email Sender: select which store email account is used to send unsubscription emails.
– Unsubscription Email Template: select a template to use for the email that your customers receive when they unsubscribe from your newsletter. You can use the default or select a
different template.

– Confirmation Email Template: if you require customers to confirm their newsletter subscription, select a template to use for the confirmation email. You can use the default or
select a different template.
– Need to Confirm: set whether customers must confirm that they want to subscribe to your newsletter. Select Yes to specify that each customer that registers for a newsletter will
receive an email asking them to confirm their registration. This technique is called double opt-in, meaning that customers confirm that they want to receive a newsletter twice. This method reduces the number of customers that consider your newsletter as spam.
