Is there a way to have Wordpress or through a plugin, send out an email to all subscribed users when a post is posted in wordpress?

They use a plugin that automatically emails out all subscribers when a post is posted. It functions a lot better than the ones listed above.

Also what functions differently? What makes it a lot better to you?
