email marketing to 25k email contacts
 

Hello I have to send around 25k emails for an email marketing campaign. We already have the DB. Wich service do you guys recommend ?

I would send it from php from bash - it will took 3 hours to send this amount of emails

Thanks for the input , but I'd prefer to set it up with a company like www.FromDoppler.com or similar.
But I also know that there are some softs that are very good.
any advice?

ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

honestly, it will take 5 minutes to write a script.

Yes, I agree but If I need to send 500 emails to HOTMAIL email addresses, when I'm about to send email number 10 , my IP will get blocked coz It will assume I'm spamming...

Are you asking for help to spam 25 000 webmasters? :)

Nop, it's for a mainstream marketing campaign

I have the EXACT same problem. But with a brazilian ISP when I'm sending my e-mails to mainstream customers.

:(

There you go...
That's why i'm looking for some kind of a paid service wich can guarantees the delivery & tracking.

I think that might be a safe assumption. :mad:

Bump, I'm interested in email solution as well. Soft wont help you a lot, as your ip or server will be banned anyways, especially from yahoo inboxes. What we need is 100% inbox delivery mail service.

icontact is the best.

constant contact

Thanks for info !

There is no such thing as 100% inbox delivery, even whitelisted services will not be able to get 100% in the inbox.

I sent 5000 emails via PHP List.

The addy's were mixed bag of domains and I sent no more the 200 per hour. It took a day and a bit but hey it was free and I used a newsletter style with opt out for the future and so far it seems fine.

hit me up on aim

Do you know how many emails were successfully opened ?

Could you have some kind of tracking system ?
