| hi all.
I'm putting up a mailing list solution proposal for a client.
requirements:
1. system resides in client's server (not hosted by 3rd party).
2. able to send mailing list in batches / schedule
3. users subscribed in the mailing list need to be able to unsubscribe the mailing list automatically (i.e. clicking on a special link). need to do away with any coding if possible.
4. windows environment preferred.
Is there any product matching to this requirements?
Thanks alot guys... | |

It has all the features you are looking for and works reasonably well for lists of up to 50,000
However, for large list of over 100,000 like we have on Cert21.com we had to write our own custom email list script that has all these features and more, and is based on mySQL database. It will work well with over 500,000 emails on the list, the problem is that it may take over 2 days to send 500,000 emails in batches of 5000 with 2 minutes intervals between batches.
By the way, the feature of sending email in batches is very useful when you have very large lists. | |
