    Hi Jay,

    Do a search for Mail Boy. I recently purchased it and it works wonders for our opt-in list of 12,000.

    All of the mailers I've used have encountered problems with the new anti-robot algorithms used by Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL and Comcast. I don't know a way around this, but a lot of my members were complaining that they weren't getting emails from me using the mass mailers.

    Something that has a good work-around for this would be useful too.

    Yes, as far as I know, the amount you can import is unlimited. It might take a little while to send though - 12k emails takes around 14 minutes for me, but it all really depends on you and your server's connection speed.

    Are you sure they are being sent? I've always had to set up an outgoing mail server with the full version. Perhaps the demo has a server that all emails run through?

    Mailboy will use your internet connection as the "server" for the demo. I've used the demo for a couple of weeks, and that's the way it's worked...but you can only send out 100 at a time.



    If you want to go with free and you have a PHP-ready server to work with, the only system to use would be PHP List:

    http://www.phplist.com/

    This one should be able to handle lists your size (I think you'd need multiple 100k mailouts), as well as manage new subscriptions for you the way Campaigner or Constant Contact would, but using your own server.
