I want to start a mailing list for my company, and I need software that can do bulk mailing. I want this installed on my Linux server, and needs to be able to send an email out to about 2,000 people. Thank you

Well lyris is the best. www.lyris.com but it is more of mailing list software. Take a look it might work out.l

hmm... could your switch the email feature on, so some of us can contact you?

Take a look at qmail and the mailing list manager

Though they may be a bit more heavy-duty than you're seeking.

how about subscribe pro?
I use to work with it before (in my other work) and we send every week 30.000 emails.

make sure the people you are sending to have allowed you to send to them or your server will get black listed (RBL) and then your mailing list is skrewed

Hi,

I'm using subscribeme pro enterprise. it works fine... allows double opt in (which I recommend)... the only thing is the price...

300$ for the enterprise version are really not cheap.

Thank you. I plan to have around 2000 email addresses on the list. Will my Linux server (700Mhz processor, 128 megs ram) be able to handle the load if I send the emails when the server load is not to heavy?

right now I'm using subscribeme pro enterprise on a VIRTUAL server (iserver.net). about 7000 recipients, 7 newsletters, daily frequency. and the cpu usage is quite heavy 24 hours a day (coz of the other users on the server i think).

therefore I do really think it should work... but of course I'm not good enough to promise you that it will ;)))
