    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
