    Default Newsletter-sending options?

    I need some input if I can get it regarding sending newsletters out from the Zen Cart newsletter manager. I have nearly 20,000 customers in my database, and I am finding out that the built-in newsletter manager does not have many features such as splitting your mail list into chunks, message sent statistics or logs, etc. Could someone please recommend either a module or some other program/process that works with Zen Cart to manage newsletters? The forums do not have alot of information regarding the Newletter Manager.

    Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my question.

    Most hosts will not tale kindly to you sending 20,000 emails

    This is akin to advertising and you should be viewing in that way 0 0as if you were a brick & mortar shop and were snail mailing this informatiom

    In that light, a contact service is in order seperate from ZenCart but lists can be imported
    MailChimp, constant contact are just 2 and google for more

    Kobra is right, most hosts have a limit of how many emails you can send per hour. But 20,000 customers is huge! I only have about 500-600 customers. What products do you sell that attract so much customers?

    Using a seperate program like pommo that has a built in throttle
    or using a service like mail chimp that has a throttle as well as a host of other tools not to mention that its not on your server so it keps your ip and url clean from any lists
