How good is Webafrica's Email marketing solution

[Sapphiron]

Hi All

I run the IT for a small consulting company. We provide a variety of services, from software distribtution to Investment management.

We are looking at automating our newsletters and marketing emails.

I have looked at Using PHPlist for our newsletter management, but the time spent on setting it up at our hosting provider (webafrica) and no experience with any mailing list software, has driven me to have a look at some of the "plug and play" solutions in the market.

What are your experiences using Webafrica's email marketing solution? at R69 a month to start with it seems very cost effective and has a easy to use interface and templates.

Any technical issues?
any "missing" features?
can you integrate/link it with your existing website?
whats great about it?

If you use it to send spam then they shut your down very quickly... thats a plus for me as a mail recipient

I am also interested to hear more about it.

BTW: How many emails do you want to send at a time? If not too many, be sure to look at something like Infacta Group Mail Free: http://www.group-mail.com/asp/common/default.asp

Very easy to use, import emails etc.

Email batches would be smallish. To start with the 2000 emails recipients for R69 should be more than enough.

sending to 10000's address would be highly unlikely.
