[Typo3] best practice: dmai(newsletter) & feuser?

[Peter Niederlag]

Hi,

Anybody can share some suggestions on how to setup data-handling on a 
site where there is fe_user access(using sr_feuser_register instead of 
feAdminLib) and also a newsletter-system?

In the registration the user should simply have a checkbox "receive 
newsletter" which should be editable any time later.

problems:
dmail(newsletter) can't select a user-group based on a cerain 
flag("receive newsletter")

User-registration assigns a certain pid, so *all* self-registered 
fe_users get stored in the same sysfolder by default.

possible solutions:
* use tt_adress as source for newsletter. This would require some 
synchronisation between the fe_user and tt_adress record each time it is 
created or edited. also this would lead to some redundancies.

* postprocess the submitted fe_user data so it get's assigned different 
pid's based on the the "receive newsletter" checkbox. dmail(newsletter) 
could then be only using fe_users from one of the pid's

* use dmail_categorys to get the selection done

* put some work into dmail, so it could handle an additional flag

How do you all handle this?

Gruß,
Peter
