    Does anyone know any decent scripts / software that do this:

    Newsletter subscribe / unsubscribe function
    Tells you when people have read the mail that you have sent out

    thanks:)

    Aweber is the best thing I've ever seen)
    It is worth it really.
    Newsletters is a great way to sell almost any stuff))

    yeah...you want aweber...it is cheap...you can create all kinds of subscription forms easily...and it takes maintenance of your script off your hands...

    Get Aweber...

    thanks guys, that looks pretty good,
    it doesn't seem to have the option to see how many people open your mail, are there any that exist like this, also we are ideally looking for a white label solution and a company to be a reseller for

    thanks again for the help ;)

    I use: www.sendstudio.info and they just announce a new update that will be released soon. I love this software and has all the features you named and many many many more.
    This is a paid software but they do offer also hosted versions just like aweber and it has really lot more features than aweber.

    I use benchmark email service. It's a paid service, but it tells you who opened emails, if they clicked on a link, who unsubscribed etc etc

    ^^ Just like AWeber.

    Aweber is definitely the way to go, unless you wanna shell out the 200 whatever bucks for sendstudio. Ask any marketer online, they'll tell you: AWeber.

    Other than Aweber, I've seen a lot of top marketers using EmailLabs.com. I think Frank Kern and the Stompernet guys uses that...

    But seriously, AWeber contains all you need really, and the costs will pay itself back many times over.

    Yes, I used this free script on several of my lists- the largest has about 20K subscribers:

    Like most people I started with no money, so I need a free tool.

    Aweber aweber aweber..... what if I have 15k+ list? then the price is $150/month? The own hosted solution is better in this case.
    I just want to say that the answer is more complicated. And depends on different factors.
    mikerocky asked for a software not a service but got only one resonable answer from community....

    Are you posting just to increase the number of your posts and make your signature be in every thread?

    some helpfull links
    http://email-marketing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    http://email-marketing-service-review.toptenreviews.com/

    I don't know a good list of own hosted solutions. It looks like a good niche to make a comparison chart ;)

    I use Feedburner to manage my newsletter. It is free, and they manage all the sending issues that go along with avoiding spam folders, etc.
