We evaluated MailChimp and it was working great in our evaluation. Before that, I had a Perl script that was sending individual emails, and I found out that I have to put a 5 seconds delay between each email sent or else some SMTP server would throttle delivery or even reject emails.
For non-personalized emails, I was using a mailing list in CommuniGate Pro, I found that by using a mailing list, delivery is done much faster, but you do loose personalization. But no matter which solution you use, you make to make sure your email database is "clean" of outdated email addresses. For example, Bell Sympatico here will reject any new mails if they found that more than 10% of previous deliveries you did for a specific day was for non existent addresses. > Hi, > > has anyone built direct marketing/personalized email software with WO (or > used any reasonable package) that he'd like to share experiences with? > > I find my stuff is getting rejected probably due to the speed at which I sent > mails out, but before I go around stumbling in the dark, it'd be great to > hear people who have already been there... > > Cheers, Anjo _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
