Looking for email solution for less than 1000 subscribers

I jumped into the twitter foray this week (more about that later!) and noticed Kate Trgovac had twittered that she is creating a mailing list and looking for free software recommendations.

I suggested I post her question here and see if AIMS members had any recommendations. She agreed. Kate is looking for a small solution, less than 1000 subscribers.

So far she's had 2 recommendations:
- Campaign Monitor
- www.groupiecorral.com or www.industrymailout.com

Does anyone have any other ideas for Kate?

Hey, it's Mathew from Campaign Monitor here. I just wanted to say thanks for the mention, and also that although it is not free, Campaign Monitor has very reasonable and simple prices. You can even send campaigns to 5 or less people at no charge, just to check it out.

We're over at http://www.campaignmonitor.com

Hi Kate,
"Constant Contact" is free up to 50 subscribers, and has a 60-day free trial for any size list.

Fee scales by number of subscribers, not the number of emails sent.

P.S. Hope wedding planning's going well - (http://mynameiskate.typepad.com/at_home/2007/01/wedding_20_ive_.html) I shared your wedding day countdown widget with a friend and she absolutely loves it! Funny how the littlest things can be so exciting…

[1-2-All Email Software]

I use 1-2-All email software. It's pretty robust for lists under 5000, has some nice tracking options and great and easy interface. Solution will run you maybe 100-200 bucks one time.

good luck

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! I'm hoping to start a mailing list for my Squidoo lens (I find their RSS support inadequate). I'll be giving all these a look thru! Cheers .. Kate
