Hi fern, I have my own IIS server and I found a 3rd party tool for one client that has worked fairly well. It is called Newsletter Manager Pro by http://www.designerfreesolutions.com. Last time I checked it was a one time cost of $85. They have a couple add-ons like a bounce message manager.

For now I'm sticking with icontact Fern _________________________________________________ DJ Fern Firefly Entertainment~ Creating The Soundtrack For Your Celebration DJ and Event Planning services for all occasions. _________________________________________________ --- On Tue, 8/12/08, derek allard <derek at tunnel7.com> wrote: > From: derek allard <derek at tunnel7.com> > Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] email marketing software > To: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 4:06 PM > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the > member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > Zara, > > Good afternoon.
