ok I have about 2,000 emails i need to send out to my registered clients on my mailing list

I do this about once every 2 weeks

Give me info on how i can do this and stuff, I have email addresses with names in my database I can pull however i dont want my server doing the mailing

What places offer this service for free preferably or low charge per usage (under $10ish)

I don't want to have it so people can see the emails of other clients either in the email, but I would assume that is common knowledge other wise I would use gmail or something...

Why don't you want your server doing the mailing?

And the funny thing about you mentioning gmail is that you can use gmail's SMTP server, with a bit of PHP code and the sendmail() function.

Also, other clients won't see others' e-mails if you use BCC (Blind Carbon Copy).

Just as long as you don't use it for spam...

I just don't want to use my servers resources to do it since it is a ****** server.

I'll do what you said, but I was hoping I would be able to make it say 'to: blah@blah.ext' but if i used bcc it would show up as a bcc i would think

all good i guess as long as it gets sent out

This is what I use... best thing out to send mass emails... and to get other users via double-opt-in.

Try http://mojo.skazat.com/ - you can run it on your server and spread the mailing over a long period so you don't hog the server resources :)

My product code? No, I don't do the "let me send you a link... oh, I make money off this." No, I recommend products that I use and I don't make any money from.... Matter of fact, I go out my way not to promote my sites on any forums for that reason.

Anyway, I thought the interface was easy to follow... but who knows how much experience you have with computers. Don't think I can answer that question. They do have an online demo though, or did you not see that link? It is in a blue box, under the main product info....

word all good = )

i dont promote / spam my sites either im just looking for a legit email system

im going to mess with the demo some more and probably buy it, looks like something im looking for

i have plenty of experience with computers, however my 'co-site admin' is a tard, but he does have a way of working with clients, he has people skills and im the opposite i just manage the dollars and come up with profitable ideas and make them happen

But thanks again for this program/link very helpful :agree:

As mentioned by Fixago, AWeber is a good option.

The other one I have been looking at for my clients is iContact (http://www.icontact.com) (previously IntelliContact)
