Does anyone know of a reputable email sending service? I have a newsletter that I send to our subscribers, well I have only sent it once as I've never been good at email marketing. Anyhow, I used a service where we upload a csv of the recipients and they send the mail off their servers and provide open/click stats etc. I figured this would help get it delivered to accounts such as hotmail, yahoo, aol that seem to block a lot of emails.
But our service is related to gambling and we were politely asked to find another provider to send the emails as they dont do gambling. Can anyone recommend a good service that will send email newsletters related to gambling (its horse racing, UK only).
Alternatively, if I use something like PHP list and run it off my own webserver am I likely to find the rejection rate much higher?
I used to use PHP/sendmail to mail out directly. However, most stupid ISPs block a lot of IPs, so the mail is rejected. (There are better ways of stopping spam than by IP - look at gmail).
So now I go via my ISPs relay mail server, and the success rate is way higher.
Thanks for the info, it sounds like using someone else to send the mails may be the way to go, just need to make sure they don't mind sending gambling related mails.
