What To Do With a 300,000 Verified Subscriber List... Use a Dedicated Email Server?

Hey everyone

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations for using a dedicated email server?

I have a rather large list (300,000+ double opt in verified leads) and am looking into using the Enterprise Solution from GetResponse (via Implix). It seems that with a dedicated email solution your emails will go out faster and won't be put in a hold queue which can be up to 24 hours.

Has anyone used this GetResponse Enterprise Solution before? Or has anyone used any dedicated email server before?

I notice that quite a few top marketers use Aweber & Getresponse but it seems that they just use the standard service which is via their shared email servers.

I would appreciate your feedback!

Thanks,

Ethan

      These are my own leads, not a purchased list. Have been doing IM for a while

    Ethan, if these are not your own subscribers, forget about it.

    Did you do a search on it here at the WF? Your question gets asked several times a month.

    Ethan,
    I've not used the Enterprise solutions from GetResponse/Aweber (but have used their standard products) - however, my wife used to work at iContact and I know several folks there and a few customers using their agency and dedicated accounts. These accounts have greater access to support and project management, but they typcially use the same infrastructure as everyone else. I helped set up the co-lo systems as data center manager for Bronto Mail's servers as well. So not sure exactly what you're asking - you get a higher level of service at Bronto and iContact, etc. And while its possible they might provide stand alone servers/services - to my knowledge they don't. You may be on a separate segment - but if these services provided dedicated solutions for all their Enterprise accounts the DC/Network management would quickly become a mess.

    As for those using the enterprise accounts at both companies - each with 100K+ accounts - my discussions with them have always been positive. Nothing's perfect, but at these levels of service - service is provided quickly and with a great sense of urgency. You get a dedicated account manager that you can CALL - you do not go through the typical support lines that us lowly 19.95/month folks have to use.

    hope this helps,
    best,
    --Jack

      Thanks for that Jack.

      I guess my main concern is that ISP's are not familiar with the new IP of a dedicated server or Enterprise Solution and may be blocking our emails?

      I did read somewhere that IContact allows you to import leads, with full verified opt-in info, without having them to reconfirm.

      I noticed that most top marketers often use the standard GetResponse/Aweber service. Just wondering if there is a particular reason for that or would they be below 100k leads?

      Thanks again

      Ethan
