Server Side Email Marketing Software?
 

Our list is pretty extensive and costing a bit each month to utilize a service like MailChimp, so looking for a hosted solution on our end.

Any suggestions for anything from email marketing software to just blasting emails?

FYI, this is MAINSTREAM and not adult :thumbsup

Interspire

custom is the best way

I agree with interspire. Cost effective, robust and very feature rich. If you find that you want better deliverability (sp) then hook interspire up to any number of smtp relay services like sendgrid.com, smtp.com, etc.

Note that delivery is largely based on reputation scores and managing sender reputation is NOT a set it and forget it task. Which is where services like sendgrid, smtp etc. come in.

+1 for another interspire recommendation!

Not worth it. Your shit will get blacklisted no matter how clean the list.

Hence the mention of reputation monitoring in my post ....

Mail machine pro
Send blaster with serversmtp.com
Mailing manager gold

All these use php mail send function and server based

i use interspire, am listed as a bulk sender, have a good reputation and a sender score that allows me to inbox at most of the major providers(comcast being the difficult one).

i do not pay for reputation management or smtp relaying services.

skills pay bills, learn up.
