    Hey Guys!

    I need some help.

    I want to set up a mailing list but I dont know how.

    I want to have it so people will enter their name, address, phone, age, and email address and after they do, they will get a free copy of our ebook.

    I want this to auto happen... I dont want to have to email them the book manually.

    I want their info saved into a database so we can see their info later and see who joined the mailing list

    can someone help us?

    We are a non-profit

    I have no experience with what these guys offer, so I would suggest contacting their support department and asking them.

    Good luck!

    You would need to create a MySQL database, then use PHP to submit information from text boxes to the database. Then you can use the PHP mail function to send them an email. Your task cannot be completed in HTML, but it would come fairly simple to someone who is familiar with PHP and MySQL.

    Hi.

    I have been ListMessenger's customer for about 4 years now and I can't complain with this script.

    It doesn't have Follow ups like aweber, but you can create as many templates and Catrgories as you need.

    I have more than 30 active websites and I manage all my mailing lists with this excellent script.

    The only limitation I find by using it has nothing to do with the script itself but hosting restrictions. You are not able to send more than 1000 emails a day. Unless you buy more relays with your hosting company. However, 1000 emails send a day, is ok if you are not a spammer after all.

    The great thing about ListMessenger is that you can send personalized messages if you want. In other words you use wildcard fileds such as [Firstname], and so on to your list and ther will read their names instead of those fields.

    Depending on your campaigns goals, this could be the difference between your message being read or send to the Spambox unread.

    Hope this helps! ;)

    We don't want to use a 3rd party. We want everything to be on our own servers
