Which auto responder is the easiest to import contact to?

A lot of them want you to have your contacts reconfirm and of coarse we all know most people won't. So is there any that I dont have to do that? One that I can just upload my contacts really easy.

    All the services that let you easily upload all your contacts without confirmation have one thing in common: They will not get your email delivered

    Just wandering, cause I have an old list I haven't used in probably more than a year. So the list just needs to get "washed" is the wording they used. Basically get rid of all the deleted email address's. So I just thought using it on another autoresponder would clean out the list.

      Hi there.

      Try using Active Campaign dot com.

      They have a fair quality and they deliver most of my emails.

      One more thing... they are even less expensive than the wellknown ones

        ActiveCampaign have abuse filters in place and will
        detect the poor health of the OP's list and shut it
        down very quickly.

        If you want ActiveCampaign to continue to deliver your
        e-mails, then don't advise people to abuse their e-mail
        servers.

          Abuse?

          I did not advice to abuse anything. The question was wich autoresponder service could import list with no confirmation. ActiveCampaign delivers that.

          I hate spam and email abuse and would never advice anyone to abuse anything especially not a service I use that can be damaged by others abuse.

    I ask GetResponse staff import the list for me for free and without any problems. I don't know any case with other service. Or I miss anything here?

    Has anyone tried IMNICA for this? I know they permit adding subscribers without confirmation.

      Makes sense that they do, when I tested Imnica every single email I'd send ended up in spam.

    DEpending on how old the list is it may be better to just let it go.

    I know that's a hard pill to swallow but if you haven't been keeping in contact and keeping the list clean then you are just going to create more problems for yourself by mailing them.

    If you are not willing to do that you can use a service like e-append and have them clean it for you.

      I agree, its not worth getting a compliant that can lead to further problems so the best thing is to leave the list alone or you can risk it by using GetResponse but again maybe you should start out by saying "welcome back members or whatever your site is about".

    An old list will generate large bounces, and we will shut down your account.

    We allow imports, but, WE do it, and not the customer. List is subjected to a LOT of tests, and imported only after passing.

    Then, only 5K per week as well.

    If at any point there is higher than our standard bounces or spam complaints, we shut down your account.

    Clean old lists from your own server using phplist or something similar.

    You can contact our support team and ask about waiving the confirmation. The compliance team will then test the list and if they see no problems, you have the option to not reconfirm.

    As Richelo mentioned, email service providers are very careful about this for very good reason. As he also mentioned, old lists can cause real problems and are probably less likely to pass testing.

    Yes, That is the problem with the old lists, leads forget you, as they are in a lot of other lists, they remember the ones that keep in touch quite often. You will have a problem with spam complains, which if it is above a standart level, will cause problems to the autoresponder, and they might shut you down........You should consider a private solution
