I don't want to spam or create islands of off-site information, but I also do not want to post a huge article here. I started a discussion of how to email market or send newsletters on drupal on my blog, but the abstract is:
"In this modern world there are hundreds of options for email marketing. Its a highly confusing arena, because everyone tries to copy everyone else and include all the best features, but typically offer little of the "magic" that makes it a good choice to use. Magic to me is defined as: easy to use interface for end-users (GUI) and programmers (API), data portability, open-source, emails not being marked as spam, good pricing plans or just plain free, and customer-service or customer support forums that are actively used.".
If anyone wants to read more and discuss the options, the rest of the article is available here: http://www.mindfulintegrations.com/home/blog/2010/04/27/email-marketing-...
I am looking for the best way to send emails from Drupal. Tried numerous things, and have tried numerous tools...there seem to just be +'s/-'s for each of them, like everything else.
