Mass mailing applicationsrnare commonly used for opt-in advertising, communicating with group membersrn(clubs, churches, etc.), or for newsletter or blog post distribution. Thisrnarticle lists five applications that can facilitate mass mailings.

1. Bigg Mass Mailer

rnrnBiggrnMass Mailer is a free tool for generating mass mailings. The best thingrnabout this tool (aside from the price) is probably its simplicity. Bigg MassrnMailer has a very clean and straightforward interface that allows you tornspecify your mail server’s credentials, compose your message, import yourrnmailing list, and click Send. This utility could not be any simpler to use.

3. MailList Controller Free

rnrn

MailListrnController Free is a free tool for generating mass mailings. The initialrnsetup process walks you through setting up your SMTP server and setting up yourrnfirst mailing list, but you can create additional lists later on. It is worthrnnoting however, that the free version only allows for a single list with up torn100 recipients. The professional edition allows for ten lists with up to 10,000rnrecipients, while the extreme edition is unlimited.

rnrnThe software seems to havernall of the basics covered. It allows you to import list members or add membersrnmanually. There is also a very rich interface for composing messages. You canrnalso keep track of outgoing messages and previously sent messages.

4. GroupMail Free Edition

rnrnGroupMailrnFree Edition is a free tool for sending out bulk E-mail messages. Thisrnapplication has all of the basics covered, but it also has a few nice extras.rnFor example, the software can use its own internal database, but it can alsornconnect to an existing external database or pull recipients directly from yourrnaddress book. There is also a scheduler feature, but to use it you have tornupgrade to the paid version. My personal favorite feature is that even if yourndecide to use the internal database, you can create and modify database fieldsrnso that you can create rich, personalized messages.
