I got to email my 17K forum users with newsletter program. I need to send one or 2 times emails no more. Which program would you recommend for me to use and when to send the message? I know about constantcontact.com I'm not sure if that's the best solution for me. Thank you all.
well, if it's only 1 or 2 emails, most forums have inbuilt mailing features. Or, if you are going to email marketing, use aweber...if you just need to email them twise and don't want to setup an autoresponder, use PHPlist
Most of those email programs use a external SMTP server, So if your hosting provider doesnt allow you ot send out more then 200 emails an hour your pretty screwed Best chance is to get a dedicated, or find a third party SMTP server. Constant contact is a third party SMTP server, so You could use that, it would be cheaper then a dedicated.
