I believe that AWeber are the best autoresponder by a mile. http://www.AWeber.com Delivery rates are fantastic, support is brilliant and the interface is so easy to use. I highly recommend Aweber
On the User Control Panel it states how many emails were delivered and how many were undeliverable. I have also tested it on numerous email accounts I use (Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail and more) Hope that helps!
Hey Adam Interesting. Yes, I know of the stats in the control panel, but they only show the number of messages sent and the number of bounces. These figures do NOT indicate a delivery rate. Your tests, on the other hand, are very interesting. Did any of these accounts had messages delivered in spam or junk boxes or did they all went straight into your IN box? Just to clear up my position: I DO use Aweber and I DO believe their delivery rates are high, but I don't know how to prove that, other than signing up for their Delivery Monitor service. Also, they have their stats about delivery published on their site and I actually don't question these, but I do prefer confirmation from an 'outside' source. Case
Every single message (I used 8 different email accounts in total if I remeber correctly) went directly to the inbox. Of course the emails were not about senative subjectes (Sexx, p0rn, viagra ect) that are often classed as spam. Maybe delivery rates would tumble if words like that were used within the emails? Personally I don't send stuff like that and only email family friendly content so it isn't a problem for me. Thanks!
I've been using awebber for over 3 years now. I love them. They have a meter that tells you how much your email subject line is at risk of triggering the spam filter of the mail hosts. In those 3 years, there was only one time, where they were having technical difficulties. That was just a few weeks or even months ago, now. Everything is fine with them again. I'd definitely highly recommend them. Jason
Most of the webhosting companies provide autoresponders that can be configured to autorespond to incoming email messages via your cpanel. Aweber is a very good example of a email list management system and list mailing system. If you can't afford their monthly service fee, you may want to take a look at the gammadyne mailer by Gammadyne corporation or FollowUpXpert by Xtreeme. If you want to send emails like the "gurus" - you may want to google for sequential autoresponders. Good luck!
