Somebody recently asked me if it was worth investing in a paid mass mailing service. I told him - no, if you're just a newbee starting out on a zero-budget; maybe yes, if you're turning pro. Today I received a mass-mail from Technorati and noticed that it's been sent out using PHPlist, which is free. I've been using it myself for a while and although I'm not a newbee any more I just don't feel like switching to a paid service. Anyways, PHPlist has recently released a new version on Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/phplist/ and it is better than ever. What do you guys think?
