Second the advice to use an MSP like Mailchimp for newsletters etc. They have a nice API too. Alternatives are Postmark, Campaign Monitor and many others.

I've been using MailEnable (free version) for years and I'm quite happy with it. On another box I paid for Kerio Mailserver, again a good product IMO. I've now moved all mail for my domains to Google Apps and use my mailserver for sending. If you are handling newsletter I recommend a service such as Mailchimp, or if you want to manage it yourself (as I do right now) and you are on OSX then check out Direct Mail: http://ethreesoftware.com/directmail/index.php I send 10,000 emails bi-weekly using Direct Mail and it does the job very nicely indeed. I like the fact that you can run queries directly against remote datasources to pull your list into the app. Regards, Stefan On 17 Feb 2011, at 02:10, Pete Ruckelshaus wrote: > > I think that'd be overkill, given the relatively low volume.
