Ive been using mailchimp for two years to build by online newsletters and I'm happy with
them. The newsletters are easy to build and their customer support is good. But who else is out there? If you have a favourite newsletter builder please let me know and why you like them :-)
Yep, I can recommend interspire if you're happy doing it off your own server, check with your hosting provider if you're goinng to send out more than about 10K at a time though, most of them freak out about email.
PHPlist is best of the free ones, but you don't get much in the way of reporting, and it's a lot more fiddly to set up.
Aweber is good if you're building a new list (can't import data in from elsewhere - they are watertight on spammers)
Have a look at this if you want something really idiot proof for small volumes: DIY Email Newsletters at Shine: The Online Marketing Agency
The setup fees are pretty steep to cover design work and also training clients who have no email experience, so if you're moving form another platform we can negotiate.
