A newsletter system is not usually implemented through a plugin, since
plugins seem to be better for extending the functionality of classes,
whereas a newsletter system would require views, controllers etc

Taking a peek at the source for the aforementioned extension of
radient, it looks pretty much like a standard rails app, so you can
grab most of the code from it, or use it as the basis for your own.

The main consideration when making a newsletter system is the bulk
sending of mail, something rails isn’t very good at due to the single-
threadedness of its implementation. The ar_mailer gem is a good
solution to this, which pushes the emails into a table in the database
and uses a separate daemon to send the messages in batches.

The other consideration is some kind of knowledge of sending/receipt,
so you probably want to catch the bounced emails in your mail server
with a reply-to header that identifies the original recipient. (see
the NewsletterLog model for more verification stuff). Don’t forget
standard stuff like SPF records and reigstering your mail server
address properly to ensure you mail actually gets through.

The rest is just simple Rails CRUD, you should be able to knock
something up in an hour or so pretty easily.
