    Hi,
    I'm toying with the idea to subscribe to intellicontact.com to manage our opt-in mailing.
    I (we) don't want to do it ourselves and need a professional looking ad free (we intent to sell our own) set up that also gets through to AOL and is able to provide some decent stats.

    Any recommendations experience gratefull received.

    I dont have any personal experience with IntelliContact, but do use Aweber - and LOVE it. It does all of that and more.

    Aweber is the industry leader in autoresponder & mailing list managers - so you get a feature-rich package and exceptional delivery rates. Also comes with unlimited lists & autoresponders... so it's well worth the $20/mo.

    Their service is web-based, managed through their server, so nothing to install or worry about on your end. Can log in from anywhere - very convenient.

    At the very least, check out their free trial before you make your final decision ;)

    p.s. Should also note that Aweber has RSS feature built-in, as well as HTML archiving... so you can use those with the click of a button each time you publish an email.

    Top notch!
