Howdy all,

Don't really post on here much, been busy lately with a few projects and this place was wind above my head from Summer unfortunately.. Going to try and start lurking around again as there's a lot of useful and helpful information. 

What I'm really after though, is some info on setting up a newsletter mailer on one of my websites. I understand there may be concerns regarding bulk email lists and the like, but all I'm really after is a simple HTML email Newsletter which people can freely subscribe and unsubscribe to. My intention is to send out regular (monthly?) emails with a splash of colour and a graphic or two, with news on up-coming events and information regarding the club. (The website is a local Mini club, of a sort.) No idea how many subscriptions, but it’ll probably not even reach 100.

Does anybody have any recommendations or any advice regarding this sort of thing on the server?

Thanks
Darren

I like DaDa mail.

Its pretty easy to use (I figured it out ) and has quite a few nice features... such as 'send webpage' and limit emails sent per hour/day etc.

Its also free

You could always just use your own email client. Subscribe/unsubscribes are not instant of course (unless you are online) but that has worked well for me with smaller lists in the past.

There's also http://groups.google.com/ which is of course free. I'm not sure whether it can handle html emails but it's worth a look.

Dadamail is probably the best option.

I have also used this simple simple simple php one called txtlist. It's very easy to use / install etc. Requires no db, just 1 config and you're good to go.

But if you want the best free option try dadamail.

For the best best best service out there try www.campaignmonitor.com. These guys are an awesome Aussie-based company who are going great things. Unfortunately this is a bit of a costly option ($5 to send a campaign + 1cent per recipient.) but it's definately the best by far!

I also would recommend Dadamail, or if you want a hosted solution, try YMLP (www.ymlp.com). Dadamail is free and resides on your server. YMLP is hosted on a remote server--they have a free version and a paid version.

Ergo

ive wrote a custom soluton in php that sends 1 mail/4 s ( if i remember right ) with it you wont hit the servers mail limit per hour :] if anyone is interested we can talk :]
