Ughh! Trying To Send Bulk Emails Is Such a Pain....

Why not just send the emails from your own email account? Just BCC the list.

MadMimi (can't remember if that's their exact name) could also be worth a look.

I use JangoMail.

There's an inherent contradiction in what you're saying "nothing about what I'm sending is spammy" "all my emails are ending up in spam". If NOTHING about it is spammy then they won't ALL end up in spam, period. Most likely you don't know what you're doing that's triggering spam filters, pay attention to that rather than looking for other locations to send from...that or just send from your own email account in bunches. I used to send 400 emails per day marketing to my list from a Yahoo business mail account, worked fine.

Have you tried GetResponse?

Hi,

"I swear this is making my hair thin. I have a 110% genuine opt-in list from my website that I had gathered over the last few years. problem was, since i had the website coded from the ground up, I never had an email option added to the website. Well i have since made upgrades to the website and want to inform my members of the change.

Ive tried Aweber and Mailchimp but they come back with emails about some spam filters when I dont have NO spammy words. Im not trying to get anyone to buy anything or nothing like that. Just announcing my website changes. Its soo frustrating because Im trying everything under the sun to send my list. I tried mailjet because of their pricing but with the couple of test campaigns I tried with them, ALL of their emails ended up in the spam folder. I don't want that.

Can anyone recommend a company/service that can get this done for me? I dont mind using a member here but you have to be a reputable member with someone backing you because I will just not work with anyone. Thanks."



As you've already been told, clearly the words you are using are spammy otherwise they would not actuate the spam filters.:rolleyes:

Instead of searching for another autoresponder, simply rewite your message so that it isn't flaged as spam. Spam could be using words like "how to make money fast", or "Go here and start making money today" for instance because both are ridiculous statements.

There are many others, so read what you are sending and simply rewrite what you say as if you were talking to your best friend so that it is purely informative and is not selling a fairy tale.

People have all sorts of abilities from zero or a little knowledge or are already experienced so it is impossible to say how quickly someone can make money no matter what the offer is on your website? Some might make money fast while most will never do so?:confused:

We use Aweber and Get Response, two of the very best, and have always paid attention to the spam score shown before we press the send now or save button? On Aweber anything up to 5 or more is flaged as spam and most of our posts are zero or only up to 1.4 or so which is always acceptable.

Try and find some emails you received, because they were cleared ok to send to you from others and rewrite them to suit your message avoiding spam words? Otherwise get a mentor and start from scratch because in the long run that is the quickest way to learn.

If you've gathered this list over "the last few years" without ever e-mailing them, you don't really have their permission to do so anymore, not in practical terms. Lists go bad; people forget who you are and they forget that they gave you permission to mail them. *No matter what you write*, if you mail a years-old list that hasn't been used, a bunch of those people will mark the mails as spam. It'll affect your sender reputation, and more of your mails in the future will end up in spam boxes or you'll lose your account with the mailing list host.

Alongside all the recommendations here for cleaning up the content of your messages, I recommend never mailing addresses you haven't kept in touch with at all. You either purge them from your list and start over with only the recent opt-ins, or the only message you send them is one reminding them that they signed up for a list at some point, and asking them to *really* opt-in to continue hearing from you.
