looking for bulk sending of email provider - any recommendations
Chaps
Need to look for a provider who has the ability to send bulk emails out. We will provide the address lists, and it's not spam but all addresses around the world that are subscribing to this particular mail out. Amounts to about 2500 email addys.
We have had our internet provider run it in the past which worked fine, only we had no control over the list management. We then bought it in house and while we now have complete control over the lists, the management of theme etc, our in-house email system tends to not be able to cope with such massive mailings and we get bounce backs from addresses that are perfectly legit.
Thus I think we need to pay for a provider who does nothing but send to the addresses we advise. Their infrastructure, our content and addresses.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
Andy

I've been through this before....
Do it yourself, in house, and use this Fairlogic WorldCast - Bulk Email Software
It acts as it's own SMTP server, running multiple threads when sending, so that it can send a large amount quickly and without any load on or intervention from your internal email server.
It fully manages retry attempts, should mail not get through the first time etc.
It also has subscribe/unsuibscribe functionality to allow your recipients to automatically subscribe and unsub from your lists
You can create full HTML emails with variable name fields, to include "Dear Mr Smith" etc. from database tables.
Best of all... Worldcast is free!!!!
Certainly worth looking at it, rather than paying another organisation good money to use the same application and do the same thing for you...
Enjoy
