Recommend a new e-mail marketing service that allows rented lists

We have been using a certain service to market to a rented list of for the past year. It has been a nightmare from beginning to end and we are looking to make a change. We use a different paid service for our 25,000 opted-in subscribers, but that service does not allow rented or purchased lists so we have to keep this separate. [Edited to clarify: We are not looking to leave the current site due to poor results, but due to poor service. We fully understand that the success rate for sending what amounts to spam, even to qualified targeted lists, is going to be nowhere near that of the success rate of our opted-in list. We are not interested in acquiring a server and setting up a whole system to do this on our own. We are looking for a company that provides this service. Thank you.]

We do not plan to use any special features, just standard abilities like pasting in HTML code to create campaigns, and retrieving basic analytics on clicks, bounces, etc. Our list size is approximately 65,000.

Any suggestions?

  • Just because an ESP doesn't allow rented / purchased lists doesn't mean you can't do it.

    The simple truth is that they have no way to know if a list is opt-in or purchased. It simply can't exceed their negative thresholds, bounces, complaints, etc. Which there are ways to skew / mitigate.

    Also, any place that will let someone just send any rented / purchased lists is probably going to suck.

    • Thanks for your input. As part of a respected international corporation, we choose to follow the rules of the companies with whom we work. So while we theoretically could upload this list and hope for the best, we would also run the risk of being banned from the site and/or having our company's domain blacklisted. Not risks we are willing to take.

      There are actually companies who "clean" the lists and use revolving IPs to mitigate sending of rented/purchased lists. Unfortunately the non-sketchy ones are few and far between, as evidenced by the fact that nobody in this thread has been able to provide the recommendation I asked for.

      But thanks again for your suggestion.
  • why don't you try self hosted server for rented list? do warmup IPs, then you will get good result.

      A revolutionary Email Marketing Solution

      When did a cracked version of Interspire become "revolutionary" or "new"?
      Its a piece of junk.
      Telling each user who has an email marketing question to use a self hosted platform like your own, is not to their benefit. Also, telling them they are going to have good results is also not helpful because we know this simply wont be the case.
