Had this really been about sales/marketing, of course I would recommend a 3rd party delivery.
But it's not. In case you missed it, it's about sending weekly status to customers who ask for it. They currently do this with Outlook and a DL. I'm pushing Groupman to get past the DL-membership limit in Outlook pre-2007SP2 and so customers can self-remove if they want. Constant Contact has been mentioned as an alternative, but paying $180/yr to do what they now do for free is a tough sell. Can't believe nobody in this large crowd has ever tried Groupman though. I guess if I get the opportunity I'll try to post back to let everybody know how it went.

Yeah... Black-listing is a good reason to let someone else do your mass-mailing for you. Also, would be a good idea to get confirmation from those that you are going to be sending regular mailings to that they are willing to accept those regular mailings, otherwise, you'll start getting spam complaints. Even with confirmation, you'll probably get spam complaints, but at least with confirmed opt-in, you can point to their authorization to keep out of trouble. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:angu...@geoapps.com] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 2:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Free/cheap mailing list software - feedback on Groupman?

Carl I would agree with the other commenters that you risk a large expense if your IP gets blacklisted. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
