Hi, I need to find an email management service to handle the mailing list for one of my sites, and I'm hoping someone can help me. My site has 6 discreet topic areas, and when a visitor signs up for my mailing list, I want to record the combination of topic areas the visitor is interested in, and then when I send out messages, I want to be able to customize the message to include or omit sections depending on what preferences the user has given. It won't be possible to create a separate message for each subject area, as that could mean I'd be sending up to 6 messages to each lead. Instead, I need to create one message with dynamically configurable content. I've looked into aWeber & ConstantContact, and they can record the users preferences, but they have no way of dynamically customizing the email messages to fit. I guess what I really need is a system that supports some kind of programmatic logic within the email templates. Does anyone know of a system that can handle this? Many thanks, Dan
If you know ASP, I recommend that you look at SPD E-Letter at http://www.pensaworks.com/prg_spd.asp While it's not free, it's a very powerful program, and supports multiple email templates for multiple lists. If you also buy the bounce module you can tell if an email address is bouncing or not - a very valuable feature.
