Yes it is possible. You will need to decide how you want to store the emails. Text file or database.

Then just sore the email address given by the user and you can setup a little email page for yourself and have it so when you click on send or submit or whatever you call the button it will email the letter out to all those in the list.

To store mail message in database has better advantage rather than storing in filesystem. Using database then you can 'link' the mail and do wonders with it. The implementation is cleaner. Especially when it comes to backup, using database you just need to backup the database. It's also scalable as the storage are in DB, the DB server can actually sits on a different machine.

Scripts similar to what you need : SocketMail , it is using MySQL.

I am looking in to do doing the similar thing for a website of which I am building. But I am planning to use a database to store all the information in but my question is how would I use PHP to create a email address for my website.

So a user can register username@mywebsiteaddress.com and have it so that it will automaticlly recieve the emails to that address if any get sent to it?
