Send-Safe List Manager because it's free.

I recommend Aweber to anyone want to send emails, create a list or setup an auto responder network.

They are fast cheap and white listed, this means you can easily drive more traffic and sales. Mix that with their kick ass analytics and you can gain wicked insight into your customers and what gets them buying.

Use Awber! because it is the best list building and email tool out. /*Rant Over*/

Is Mail Mascot still available? Reason I ask is I have been unable to locate a copy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks for all the info!

Deciding on what ESP (Email Service Provider) to use for your e-mail marketing endeavors can be tricky, especially if you don’t have a true opt in list. More and more ESP's are doing their due-diligence on customers who bring a new list to the dance primarily because, if they take on new business with somebody who's got a shady list, it can cause them a huge headache down the road. (Destroy IP addresses, domains, etc.)

There is a great document available from website magazine that I once saw a few months back that ranked the top 100 ESP's - Google it and see if you can locate it. Look for more of the "B" grade ESP's because those guys are much more open to taking on any kind of business. Your "A" grade ESPs like Lyris, Exact Target, etc, are more likely to decline your business unless you can prove your file is ultra pure.

If you want a free broadcast system I would go with mailchimp.com, if you have a few $ to spend I would recommend aweber.com hands down.

I can suggest you the newest Facebook integrated tool. It is ground breaking single click opt-in eMail list building tool that not only collects user email addresses, but also captures their name, age, sex, location, relationship status, and even their favorite books and movies with just a click of a button! You can grow your opt-in email list 10x faster & 100x more targeted. And the best thing is you can post to all your subscribers walls. PM me if you are interested.

Janet makes a very good point. Email service providers work with you and ISPs to ensure your email gets to the right people at the right time. And yes it's true that we also want to be sure lists are opt-in and will want to confirm this when you upload the list. As well, an ESP such as ourselves (GetResponse) provides a turnkey web based solution which includes an easy to use, but powerful analytics suite (better data means better ROI) and even a free inbox preview tool which allows you to test your emails in 20+ clients in minutes.

If your emails don't get to the right people at the right time with the right message, they aren't going to do your business much good. At the most basic level, that's what a good ESP helps you do.

I prefer sendblaster for sending bulk emails. But for newsletters I prefer to use mailchimp. Some prefer to use both in both tasks. But I prefer to use them that way.

aWeber all the way, most of the big guns use this and with good reason - they are the best!
