I tried to send this from my gmail account but maybe I messed up the
subscription there because it never made it.
One of my customers has a need for some versatile mailing list
software that has several features.
1. Must allow customers to come from a number of sources (I can
push them into a database from my sources)
2. Must allow customers to subscribe/unsubscribe
3. Customers must be able to select different emails that they will get
4. Preferably has some reasonably comprehensive survey components
5. Easy interface for entering emails.
6. Emails sent in the back end (i.e. schedule them to be sent and
it just happens over a period of hours)
7. Some emails will be sent automatically when something triggers
them. This may come from several sources.
They have a Joomla site, but they also have other software that
supplies leads.
I've discussed it briefly with one developer who said he had had a 50%
failure rate sending to Xtra (falling into spam filters) and suggested
that a commercial service might be better. I'm prepared to consider
that if it had the flexibility for us to push our leads into it.
