I'd love to, but the moment first email bounces - Aweber abandons the whole process and complains about list quality. I been through this a few times and never been able to complete import.

is there anyway you can PM them with a link to your Aweber? this way you can filter out those who are not active too..hope this helps.

Talk to the owners of Imnica, I think they will help you import without double opt-in. They are quite active in this forum.

Now, what's their names? Hmm... Anyone knows?

Mailchimp allows you to load a list. And its free!

How is that site? I was looking for a free Autoresponder

Hey Gleb,

My guess is that you also don't have a series of emails ready to send them, and that what you're going to want to do is simple broadcast mailing, from time to time.

You're a php coder.
Push them up into a mySQL database, and then create a simple mailer script to :
1) accept your mail body from a form.
2) then read through the mySQL table (pulling the mailto address), combine it with the input from the form, and using phpmailer, send the emails directly from your own server.

Hope this helps,

A non-profit I do work for, we use InternetMailmanager.com. We collect info offline: Name, Email, Address, Phone #, etc. EDIT: Whoops, had that wrong. They have a restriction on how names you can upload, but if you contact, you can have the restriction lifted. Then you can upload them all. When you upload, it asks you to label the columns in the excel file. You can then search your lists by those each of those labels (State, City, Name, Email, etc).

I don't know if 3,500 would be too much for them, but could be an option to look in to.

An update: Internet Mail Manager says you can upload 5k names before you need to call them to lift the cap. For us it was 1k, but they should be able to take 3.5K fine I assume.

They do ban "get rich quick schemes" which should be fine for me, since my WSO isn't a scheme. But for us they may not be a good outfit after all.

Hey Gleb,

DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP) has a built-in email broadcasting system, that will allow you to send out a broadcast even to any external CSV list (without having to make them a member). All you need is a list of email ids, and you can send out a broadcast.

By default, DAP sends out the emails through your web host's local mail server. DAP also has a built-in email throttling system, as most hosts don't allow you to send over 200-300 emails/hour.

However, you can hook up multiple mail servers from your own list of domain names and send out emails faster.

Or if you want greater speed and better deliverability than what the typical shared host offers, then you could also hook up DAP to a third-party SMTP server like AuthSMTP.com (which we use ourselves). All you need is a mail server host name (like mail.authsmtp.com), a username and password for the outgoing SMTP email account.

You don't need to set up any of DAP's membership features. Simply install DAP, and minutes later, you could be sending out bulk email through DAP's email broadcast system to an external email list (you could use DAP just as a stand-alone email system if you want).

It is that simple, really.

Hope this helps.

And for being a good competitor, and a good guy in general, you can get a free copy of DAP if you're interested. No strings attached :-). Just let us know.

Cheers!

Forgot to add - since it's going to be your own DAP database on your own server, no need to worry about double opting them in. But even if you actually wanted them to double-optin again for whatever reason, DAP has you covered there too.

You can also import this external list into a DAP "Product" first, and then send out emails to this Product, so that you can also add an UNSUBSCRIBE link to all of the outgoing emails, allowing people to get off the list if they wish to.

And once you have created this email-only Product in DAP, you could also use DAP's email autoresponder feature to send out pre-scheduled emails to your list and even make them special offers or send them out good free content to revive the list.

And if you don't use the content protection part of DAP, then DAP can live in conjunction with any other membership plugin, including your own memberwing, and you can continue to use the pretty cool email features of DAP on its own.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I would advise using either Mailchimp or Imnica, as I have heard good things about both of them.

Hope you manage to get this problem sorted out.

Put them in Constant Contact

They have great deliverability and you can import your list easily. You may be required to do a "list review" but they are actually really cool and painless (I've had two already).
