Ask HN: How do you send email blasts to your customers?

1 points by Flam 14y ago ↗ HN

I have a forum which now has about 22,000 users. I wanted to send an email newsletter to the ones that checkboxed that they didn't mind.

However I don't know what software to use. Does anyone have recommendations?

I'm in Atlanta, so [Decatur-based] Mailchimp's been great for me and 4-5 of my clients. They've a pretty workable free tier too.

Alternatively, I have a colleague who raves frequently about 'Ask Emma'

Thanks for the suggestions. Mailchimp wants me to include a mailing address which would be my home address so I really don't want to use them considering 22,000 random people would know where I live. I'll check out Ask Emma.
