Newsletter

I want to know what would be the best way to send out a newsletter to all of my clients. I did it before with a built in mailing list feature in my Plesk dedicated server, but when I did that I was put on mchsi.com black list, and couldn’t send email to a number of my clients. I have also done it where I put everyone’s email in Bcc line of the outgoing email, which worked ok, but I think that there must be a much better way.

Another question of mine is; how you include pictures in an email, possibly with a background, set up like a webpage?

Re: Newsletter

First question.

I find the best solution is a free open source project called "PHPlist". It is a nice mailing list with lots of features, and it is highly customizable if you know how to edit basic code. As long as your website host supports PHP you should have no problem getting that program to work.

Question 2.
It is really simple; it is called an HTML email. Another nice feature with PHP-list is the ability to send such emails, with out having to know too much code. Also PHPlist allows your clients to select the way they like to receive messages, for example...text-based email...html email, I am sure you have seen that before yourself.

Sorry to base everything around one program, as there are thousands out there, PHPlist is just one of the ones I find to be the best option. Let me know if you have any other questions/problems.

If you need to do mass mailing very often to a big database of subscribers? then it's better to get a newsletter software for mass maling, make a one time payment and email unlimited number of emails as often as you wish.
PG Newsletter Software will also suit your needs at this point.
