Html Newsletter Systems

[jrd]

I'm looking for a service or software product that will let me send out html newsletters automatically generated from a live web page, to a list of about 5,000 subscribers...as well as enable people to sign up on their own.

 

Anyone know of any systems (preferablly cheap or free)?

 

Thanks

Hi jrd - gosh, you know this is a quest I have been on for ages as well. The ONLY program I have found that isn't awful (assuming you want a web-based dealio, with web-based signup, etc) is Subscribe Me. They have several different versions, one free and at least two commercial.

 

I have the enterprise version for my non-profit organization - and while I wouldn't say its worth what I paid for it, I do think its the best I have managed to find.

 

For some reason, most free (or reasonably) priced systems like this are always pretty awful - you don't start getting really good functionality until you start dealiing with the big (expensive) boys.

 

Anyways, Subscribe Me is a CGI script - you can find it here, if you'd like to check it out:

Are you saying you want to take the content of a page, say 'thispage.html' and broadcast it to 5000 people?

 

If so, a simply email list and a script to paste the html page to it sounds like it would do what you want (assuming everyone on the list can accept html messages).

 

A list would also allow people to subscribe/unsubscribe on their own.

 

Or was there something more?
