We use and recommend the phplist Open Source Software mailing list application.

It has a number of features which makes it superior, in our opinion, to many others.

Previously we have used mailman and VPOP3’s mailing list feature to send out emails to a large distribution list (40 000+ email addresses). Both of these systems encountered critical problems that threatened our ability to continue sending out mass email mailings.

Unsubscription, for example, is problematic when a person changes their email address by forwarding it onto their new one. When they try to unsubscribe their current address, both mailman and VPOP3 could not because they did not know the correct email address to remove from their system.

Phplist solves that problem by encoding, into the unsubscribe link, the email address to which the email was originally sent. People who unsubscribe are automatically barred by the system from receiving further emails.

Phplist operates off the server, so none of your personal ISP bandwidth is consumed in distribution.

Phplist supplies you with statistics allowing you to see who has read your emails and what they have clicked on.

For R350 per month, we offer a 1GB hosting account with 30GB of monthly bandwidth pre-installed with phplist.

You will receive support from us, plus we will upgrade the software for you when upgrades become available – with your permission, of course.
