If there are a lot of members i would definitely look at a 3rd party integration where you firea short message that tells something else like your email system to send email otherwise you are going to have a very long running event.
All down to what you have and how many members etc..
If you are looking for a package that could do this - if you are using v6 look at Darren fergusons workflow for umbraco. You can create tasks like the one above as a workflow.
I don't think it is available for v7 though - not looked for a long time.
Hi, I have implemented the same sort of functionality and unfortunately i used c# and .net
When you say post what are you using Discus?
Depending on what you are using, you would probably override the event that creates a new post and then have some code that sends an email to currently registered members.
Best way for email notification to members when there is a new post
Hi ,
I have a client, who want a email sent to the employees (members), every time there is a new post. What is the best way of doing that?
I would prefer it to be razor or a package. :-)
Thank you!

Hi Daniel,
Personally i would setup a publishing rule using the Tasks (events) system in umbraco.
Whenever a document is published with ContetentType.Alias = 'yourposttype' trigger the send mail.
In v7 look at the ContentService.Published http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events-v6/ContentService-Events

Is this what you were looking for?

Hi Damian
I am using u7 :-)
Let me just say, I am not a programmer and it looks like c# (I may be wrong) and my skills stop at C#...
Is there any way of doing that in razor?
There is around ~100 members.
Thank you :-)
