Hi Phil, I'm using Mailchimp mostly because it's free up to 500 subscribers. Good way to keep costs down while you're not getting too much out of your list. The sort of "gold standard" among the hardcore internet marketers (who make ALL their money off their lists) seems to be aweber. There's probably a certain amount of "well that's what all the other people are using, so there must be a reason" but I have heard they work really hard with the mail providers to make sure their stuff gets through. Both of these are of the double opt-in variety, which means there's an extra step to subscribe, but it also means mail through those services is less likely to be labeled spam. You really probably can't go wrong with most of the better known ones. Hope that helps, Terran -- Terran Birrell www.PressMy.biz-Affordable, easily updated Wordpress websites www.WesternMA.biz-Local Business Community (413) 219-6866 Terran at PressMy.biz On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 4:30 PM, P.
