they seem pretty good. I have never used them- however I know people who worked with them about 3 years ago

I have others that are more enterprise related- but I think that may be a bit more than you need

I have experience on:

www.htmail.com/

They are UK based but reach world wide audience. Good payment methods and I got good, actual feedback from the target audience. That was surprising...

People on their lists are paid to read the mails, so that makes them bit on guard, but for me that was off set by the good feedback.

Sites like Topica are more about getting you into the mix of their network. Not truly an email marketing service, though they do provide some useful tools. But, you still have to spread the word and recruit subscribers to your list.

Sending the message and maintaining your list is the easy part. We host with www.macdock.com and pay $5/month extra for mailing list that handles opt-in subscriptions, bounces, delivery failures, etc. and allows us to send either plain text or HTML formatted messages.

The hard part is getting subscribers. That is the reeeeally hard part.

Most email marketing companies do offer tools for tracking click-thrus and conversion rates. But, if you just want the basics, it is not worth paying for.

Did I mention that getting subscribers is the hard part?

YES! www.eSponse.com

The author is a friend. A number of my clients and I use it religiously. Once a template is created and locked, super easy to update content.

Program entirely web-based. Import excel lists of contacts.

Sends email as multi-part forms. If someone can't get html email, they get a link to a web page that looks like the html email - and that was automatically created from the html email.

Awesome program. Author/founder Tom Erickson a great guy.
