What bulk e-mail software is a good fit for people using Zen Cart. I'm looking for something that I can at least track e-mail opens without paying a huge monthly fee to a third party.

We've been using YourMailingListProvider.com for 3 years without a problem.
12,000 emails per month is in the $35 range per month.

That's not too bad. MailChimp would cost me $75 a month. For that much, I might as well just keep my $105 a month 1shoppingcart account. The only thing really great about 1shoppingcart is their bulk e-mail features.
I was looking at G-Lock which is a $350 software package. But you run it on your desktop. I had a ISP send me hate mail once after using a program like this. Plus if you want serious tracking, it's an extra $35 a month. What looks appealing about G-Lock is that it say you can set it up to pull e-mails off of a mysql database. So in theory, I could maintain my client list on Zen Cart and then have G-Lock access the list on my server. I'm sure it's easier said than done though.
I signed up for a mailchimp trial account. I sent a mass e-mail to about 700 people. The import features are nice and the tracking report is VERY nice. The cost just seems ridiculous.
Did you look at YourMailingListProvider.comThe cost just seems ridiculous
