try Aweber or infusionsoft if your list is legitimate optins

the first question is: how did you get this list? bought it from somewhere? be careful. most services will not let you do this. If you use your own server, the server will be shut down quickly.

good luck

Aweber.com, GetResponse.com and Infusionsoft.com are a few options assuming, as Chris brought up, your opt-ins are legitimate

That's also the second, third, fourth and fifth questions. All other considerations in this context depend on the answer to that. Be careful!

(Please excuse my "cautionary tone" but long experience has taught me that when someone with a "list" of 100,000 is asking a newbie question, it's rarely, if ever, good news about the "list").

I read a similar question on a forum a few weeks ago and it turns out the list if 100k+ names were co-reg and a few months old.

These lists, especially co-reg, are unlikely to be accepted by the likes of aWeber so be mindful of this.

If you can prove the origins of the list, try aWeber, 1shoppingcart, or any of the others mentioned so far.

i use pommo Main Page - . .. poMMo .. . to send a few thousand emails every month with no problem from my own server (vps)

I want to scale to a few hundred thousand but haven't tried yet

I hope people try answering the question here instead of questioning the question i'm interested in the answer also

sites like aweber will ask you to have everyone optin to the list again before you can send them any email

You didn't say where your list came from.

I read the other responses and I can guarantee you that you
do not want to use aweber or get response if this is a co-reg list.

It took me a few months to find a service to do this.

If you have the following info for each subscriber pm me.
If you don't, delete the list.

first name
last name
email address
time and date stamp when they subscribed
IP address

For the record, Infusionsoft does not want you with shady tactics like that.

More eloquently ... Purchased, Downloaded, Shared, Borrowed, Rented, Sold, Harvested or Generated lists are PROHIBITED and will result in immediate termination (w/ no refund) should we determine the list was not built legitimately.

We strongly advise to be careful with Co-Reg's. Proper expectations must be made to recipients they will receive emails from you. Due to likelihood of spam complaints, you want to collect as much information you can before you consider importing to Infusionsoft.

The bottom line is spam complaints don't lie. If a list is legit and truly opt-in, spam complaints will be minimal if any at all.

Seriously, do not use Infusionsoft with a spam list like that. I warn you. ;-)

iContact.com is good for dumping a big list into without having to go through sending out confirmation emails again and losing a bunch of your list. That's an option if you want the guaranteed deliverability... Another option is AutoResponse Plus 3, but you have to put it on your own server.
