Anyone with experience on Direct Mail( http://ethreesoftware.com/directmail/ )? I'd like to use it with SendGrid and later move to SES.
I'm the developer of Direct Mail, if you have any questions. We have several customers using Direct Mail with SendGrid and they seem to be very happy with the setup.

I wonder, can't you buy a anonymous credit card from a department store?

#37Just curious: when they write "Unlimited", what exactly do they mean? Wouldn't this be a spammer's good investement?

#38I love MailChimp. They're branding is so friendly, their people are so friendly, and overall they just love their customers. I'm a fan of their model. If you have more than 2,000 subscribers, you can most likely afford to pay without issue.

They HATE HATE HATE spam. I got flagged one time because I used the word craigslist in a blog post I sent out automatically through an RSS to Email feed. Luckily customer service threw a banana at the spam team and they got me back up and running.

#40Probably worth relinking their excellent blog post "Going Freemium: One Year Later" http://blog.mailchimp.com/going-freemium-one-year-later/ Their 'reverse freemium' approach is really interesting -- rather than de-emphasising the free and focusing on the [pre]mium side of their biz, they've been slowly expanding their free options and growing rapidly -- in terms of profit -- because of it.
I think the major difference here is that it's easy to have to migrate from free to paid. If your site/newsletter starts doing well, you hit a point where you HAVE to start paying them.
(But boy, do they ratchet the tiers up fast. Once I tip over 10k subscribers, it leaps up to $150/mo! A few more intermediate tiers please, MailChimp.. otherwise my 10,000th subscriber will cost me $75/mo alone ;-))
