    Hello,

    I am interested in making a Mailing List of the visitors of my website . I am looking for suggestion of what will be the best option out of the following

    1. Use Google Groups
    2. Use Yahoo Groups
    3. Use a custom PHP script hosted on my hosting . If you say this option could you tell me of some Good Free Script ?

    I would be wanting to send HTML e-mails , But it seems Google Groups Doesnt have that feature .
    Yahoo Groups does have that feature but only people having a Yahoo E-mail ID can joing the group and also there is no box which I could put on my website for Yahoo Groups for people to subscribe.
    With a PHP Script hosted on my own server I could run in problem if say some body who subscribed willingly then complains that I didnt subscribe and call me a spammer.

    Could anyone help me ?

    Thanks alot in advance :)

    There are some simple PHP script availalable for free at HotScripts , Have you ever hosted a mailing list on your own hosting ? Could I face any problem if I use those?

    I recommend iContact. They offer a better price and fantastic service. They also use a service to provide a deliverability rate of 99%.

    Here's a link: http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/251019
