Check out http://www.campaigner.com

 

Try PHPList. It's free and open source...

I had some very bad experiences with bulk mail software. I dont recomend to use anyone.

 

Use a third party service like Aweber.com or Getresponse.com

Reason being, you get what you pay for. They organize your list, keeps track of unsubscribes, keeps track of bounced emails, allows you to set up pre-set emails, allows your subscribers to opt out if wanted, keeps your domains off of blacklists, and makes sure that your emails get to your subscribers in boxes.

 

Our GroupMail 5 email marketing software has been around since 1996 and has won numerous awards over the years. It is used in over 160 countries and is available to download in English, Spanish, French and German. We have a free edition that you can use as long as you want. While somewhat limited in features, GroupMail Free Edition will give you a good idea of the look and feel of the program.

Mailboy maybe

 

We have used Groupmail for a while. It is not expensive, easy to use, but can require a lot of manual intervention. I have been meaning to call you about it Tom. Will try to do so in the next couple of weeks.

 

Hey can you please mention what kind of problems you had with these softwares and which software did you use?

 

Hey bigbluesky2006 thanks for the link....I went through the site and I really like the features of the software as mentioned on the site.

Just wanted to know have you used this software,if yes how is your experience with this ?

 

Thanks Tom...will go through the site.

 

AWeber.com is the best... Does anyone know if you can buy Opt in lists for niches?

 

i use Nesox-Email-Marketer-Business, really easy to use and customizable.

 

BigBlue is 100% right, PHPList is amazing. There is no reason to use any commercial script. PHPList tracks subscribes, has double opt-in, throttle, full statistics etc..

There is no reason your domains should be betting blacklisted if you are following the rules. I've sent hundreds of thousands of emails and never had my domain blacklisted.

 

Are you happy now with GroupMail?

 

I wanted to try the free version of Groupmail but you can't try the internal SMTP on the free version! Useless!

 

I actually decided to use swiftpage, and www.swiftpage.com is great!

 

check my blog www.nofullstop.com

in the sidebar you will find the add for the perfect software you looking for..

 

Hi linsys,

Thamks for the tip on PHPList . You mentioned that you won't get blacklisted if you are following the rules. Which rules are you reffering too?
Couple more questions if you don't mind...

Is your list all double optin?

What percent of your emails get to the inbox?

How do you do with aol,gmail and hotmail?

Appreciate your input.
