Hi,

I'm looking for email sending software that works with Amazon SES that allows for tokens in the subject. Can you recommend anything?

Thanks,

DT

  • Hi Donald,

    Have you checked out Zoho Mail? They offer SMTP Server Configuration which allows you to send email through Amazon SES

  • You could also use WP RapidMailer from Sean Donahoe:

    If you just need a license for one site be sure to close the window after it loaded and then the exit popup will show you the discount for a single-site for $27.

      Hi Donald,

      If you don't mind, I was curious how you were planning on using this. Any details on how you were collecting addresses and planning on using them with Amazon would be a huge help.

      I am in the process of adding this type of thing to a program of mine and feedback like yours would be a big help to me.


      Thanks,


      Thomas

  • I looked at RadidMailer before my OP, and every thread I've read says that it is very buggy and the support is atrocious.

    Any other suggestions?
  • sendy.co is very easy to setup and integrates easily with amazon ses. All you need is a cheap unix vps.
    What are you going to mail with SES? I have been banned for mailing pretty much anything with an affiliate link.

    • Sendy is awesome, but truthfully, SES has lower deliverability than many established platforms out there.

      SES is okay with affiliate links, they don't care. Maybe you just didn't build up your account? or maybe you had a very high bounce rate or complaint rate.

  • You can also use emailjeet

    But as also others before me says....With Amazonses they are very strict with people sending aggressive/deceiving subject lines. They shut down my friend.....

    Same with a number of others I have heard from.

    So it depend what you will need for....
  • I have used Sendy before. However, you can't run Sendy on a cheap hosting as the server crashes when you try sending to 50K subscribers. In my case it crashed and I was on HostGator VPS.

    I have used MailGet which is pretty awesome as they are cloud hosted solution connected with SES and is cheaper that any other hosted email marketing tool.

    You can check them at Email Marketing via Amazon SES | MailGet

  • SES doesnt not allow marketing emails. They will ban your account.

    • You are wrong here. Amazon SES allows sending marketing emails. However, just like any other email marketing tool they do not allow lots of spams.

      Check their introduction at
      aws.amazon.com/ses

      Quoting their introduction text.

      With Amazon SES, you can send transactional email, marketing messages, or any other type of high-quality content and you only pay for what you use.


    • I always read how Amazon SES are so strict and ban IM'ers or affiliate promoters...
      Any recommendations for other good SMTP servers and which sofware to use with them ?
      Thanks!
    • Not true whatsoever.
  • yeah emailjeet is a very good option..very easy to use...however, it is very necessary to keep your emails within spam red zones...or else any email system will ban one's account...

    I can only say that with these types of application you have many options available and that is the best part of this game...

    • Donald,

      Take a look at this company. I haven't personally used them; however, I have heard good things about their service.

      SendGrid

      The best to you,

      Steve
    • Thanks a lot Kumar!!
      I am currently looking into other 3rd party SMTP servers such as Sendgrid...

      The only thing I'm intimidated by is the tech stuff :/

    • Thank you Ron.
      With what SMTP did you integrate it ?
  • Does anyone have any experience with ElasticEmail SMTP or CritSend ?

    Also, between Sendgrid and Mandrill... What's the better choice in respect to flexibility and deliverability ?

    Thanks!
  • I ended up rolling with sendy but I'm going to give mailchimp a whirl too.
    Thanks everyone!
  • Mailchamp closed my account and did not give me a reason why and did not allow me to use the account again! I was using their free account for about a month.

      Maybe they decided you're an internet marketer, or they though you were doing affiliate marketing, or any one of a large number of other things for which they routinely close down accounts in spite of some of the highly misleading wording/explanations on their website ... http://www.warriorforum.com/email-ma...ml#post9689403
