Good FREE Email Marketing Program/Script?

    Bonjour amigos.

    Does anyone know of a good FREE email marketing program or script? :confused: I would prefer freeware or open source, since scripts & programs of that nature are constantly updated.

    I see a LOT of webmasters that use aWeber, but after checking out the site, their packages are just too expensive. I have some pretty massive email lists. I also want something that would allow me to allow users to opt-in as well.

    Any suggestions? :confused:

    if you want to make it right, just go with aweber. they take care of the opt-ins so you can worry about the material that you are sending instead

    Self-hosting is generally a bad idea.

    A free service you might want to look into is Mailchimp.

    A list up to 2,000 is free with Mailchimp. Mind you, the OP did say they had "pretty massive email lists" ... :eek:

    I'm currently working on deploying a similar service like this. You would be able to send marketing Email campaigns, Newsletters and such. It will also allow you to save your different lists (email lists) based on genre. You can track how many emails have been sent, how many people viewed your email and how many times. It will also show if someone has clicked on a link that you've included in your email (this would be great for affiliates who want to track how many people have clicked on their affiliate link).
    I was thinking about creating a new thread and inviting beta testers once it is complete. If you can wait for a week, I can provide you with a demo user / pass to access the system and do the testing.

    I suggest you use aweber though. Though they are expensive, they are the best. You can be sure that your E-mails reach the subs. Sometimes if you host your own, your e-mails will just fall under the spam folder. Many Internet Marketers fail as they don't want to invest in a good autoresponder.

    with Comm100 Newsletter, you have a set amount of points which is used to send the emails and there is a quota for a month. it's like 1 pint to 1 email sent, so if you got a list of 50k, you need 50 points. they do it to make sure your not just spamming.
