WOW! First, let me give some additional info. We are a not-for-profit association and only do blast email to our membership. Our plan is to do all our 'blasts at night when the email server is quiet. Finally, our blasts are in rather small numbers, as we only have 10,000 members and rarely blast to the entire membership. Typical blasts are less than 2000, and then only about 5 to 10 times per month. The reason for bringing the blasts in house is to save money and thus have more funding for IT stuff! With that in mind, any suggestions to the software I might need to provide stats? However, I do appreciate your warnings!

It's not worth the disruption of your critical business email by having your company mail servers blacklisted and RBL'd.

I'd like to consider doing it internally. The outsource company reports on such things as who opened the email, who didn't, etc. Anyone here doing their own blast email and collecting statistics? Obviously I need to be able to provide much the same info if I'm to take over blast email activities.
