I have a lot more contacts than I used to. Sending out my quarterly newsletter via ACT!/Outlook doesn't seem to work anymore. I can only send out 50 at a time and it's tedious, mistake prone, and doesn't have opt in/opt out options. On top of that, ACT! Mail keeps crashing! Can anyone recommend a good mass emailing system that's both inexpensive and easy to use? I use www.yourmailinglistprovider.com for my Project TERRA subscribers but I don't know if that particular service is good for what they charge. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Tom

I do my own design and coding and load it all into Constant Contact for Pat Fraley's newsletters.

I've never done it but I have the ability to mass email through Cpanel X (the software my web hosting company provided for website management). As another option you might check and see if you have something like that included in your price already.

I like Vertical Response because you don't have to pay monthly. You can just pay for the emails you send a la carte.

wow, I just looked into cPanelX from my host and I'm going to go with that. I'll be able to design my own newsletter from scratch, which is cool. Or it will kill me. One or the other.
