Newsletter mailing list software

I need some software that will allow me to create a HTML email and BCC it to my contacts (not for SPAM purposes).

You might look at LetterRip:
http://www.letterrip.com/index.html
I don't know anything about it, except that it may (or may not) be free, since it's no longer for sale, but it is available for download.
I found that on this page:
http://www.emailman.com/mac/mailinglist.html
Which might give you some more stuff to look through.
A quick glance through that page reveals a lot of software that hasn't been updated in a while. I think what you're going to find is that, since OS X is now a first class Unix citizen, a lot of companies that built software like that found that their market dried up. They probably found their customers moving to listserv, majordomo, and EZmlm, which, as you've found, require extensive Terminal work and Unix know-how to install.

  • Suggestion for mailing list software.

    Dear members:
    I have been looking for a good application for mailing lists. I wish to create a few internet discussion groups and would like to have them set-up as mailing lists with posts distributed to all members in the form of e-mails.
    So far the only I've found that seems up-to-date and reasonably powerful is Listserv from L-Soft (www.lsoft.com). This one, however, is rather expensive (really expensive), requires installation to be done using the terminal with Unix commands (which I don't master) and does not offer a Mac GUI (the program is controlled and maintained using a browser).
    I am interested in an application that uses the familiar mac interface (GUI) and can be both installed and run using as a typical mac application. Also I would like to find something that is reasonably priced.
    Would anyone be able to offer suggestions on what may be a good application for this purpose ?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    Hi, Tom.
    Please forgive me for the delayed response to your post and thank you for giving me some suggestions.
    I looked at the page you referenced on your post and found that the only three list server applications listed don't really offer the features I am looking for.
    Letterrip hasn't been developed since early 2006 which means it is quite likely that it would not run properly under the latest version of OS X.
    Macjordomo is in the same category of outdated software. The latest version available runs on OS X but the entire interface has that OS 9 classic design as something that hasn't been really updated in a long time. As I tried to run it all it did was to keep crashing. The GUI is also deficient and not you typical Mac application user interface.
    Last but not least Mailman seems to be one of the strongest one of the group and I had heard of it before. The only problem I have found is its lack of a Mac front end user interface that follows the typical Mac guidelines. I don't have any type of experience with Unix and would not be able to install any applications that require interaction with the Terminal.
    As popular as the Mac is today I find it difficult to believe that there isn't at least one good list server application in the market today. I probably haven't found it yet but I am hoping that one exists so that I can find it.
    Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions.
    Thanks again for your help,
    Joseph

  • Mail list software for iMac (10.6.8)

    I have to mail notices to about 60 members of a group. What software do people use to do this? (To/Cc/Bcc lists have to be less than 256 characters, so using Apple Mail groups doesn't work; cut/paste of body then subject then To address 60 times in a row is ridiculous.)

    Several threads say the problem is the mail provider (gmail, Earthlink, etc) not Mail, which is technically unlimited. There is a lot of info in the Snow Leopard (your OS) forum- go there https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard and choose Refine This List and select "Mail and Address Book" and do a search for max recipients or similar wording.

  • Java announce mailing list/rss feed available?

    I am looking for a newsletter/mailing list/rss feed about java announcements that is low noise and low traffic.
    What I need is a notification as soon as a new patch release of the Java SDK gets released.
    For other technologies I use, these are usually the announce lists/news groups. But even after googling and searching in SDN for some time, I could not find such a list/feed for java.
    Any hints/pointers to what I am looking for?
    Thanks for any help

    It is less my desire to GET the new releases - but I want to KNOW about new releases and the bug fixes and enhancements incorporated.

  • Developing a mailing list

    I tried to use Address Book to develop a mailing list for my small business. Entered 367 records.

Can anyone suggest a simple, inexpensive mailing list solution? Thanks.

  • User e-mail address in 2 mailing lists

    I have a question from a customer i had no idea.
    if a persons email address is in 2 mailing lists do they get the e-newsletter twice if the customer sends the e-newsletter to both lists.

    Hi Paul,
    If the contact is in both lists selected to send the newsletter out to the system will recognize the duplicate and will only send a single e-mail in this case. 
    Kind regards,

  • Mail - OSX Lion - Can't change font in mail list

    OSX Lion seems incapable of changing the font in the mail list on the left side. The default is a horrendous, teeny tiny font. Going to Preferences > Fonts and Colors and choosing message list font reveals a font picker. All the other font settings work in this view except the message list font.
    If you go to the "Classic" (aka ugly) view, your message list font changes work.
    I am a big believer in software aesthetics, particularly in an app you are staring at all day.
    Please, oh please, Apple tell me this is not a default behavior! At the very least, if is truly is impossible to change this, and the over-50 crowd must squint at mail all day, indicate somewhere in the prefs panel that this will not work in the new view.
    I'm really hoping there's a solution for this. As cool as the new mail app is, this would be a deal breaker that would send me running back to Sparrow.

    "changing the font in the mail list on the left side"
    You can change the size of the font (just not the font type) here: Preferences - General - Sidebar icon size.

  • What is the internal mailing list for Oracle SES

    Hello, I had this mailing list: : [email protected] but it appears to not be available now. Does anyone know where should I write now?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    This is list is the way for everyone to see which companies are actively contributing on SCN. The points of their employees are aggregated under the company names.
    We have a recognition program for SAP Partners called the [SAP Pinnacle Awards|http://www.sap.com/ecosystem/partners/recognitionprograms/pinnacleaward.epx]. In various categories such as Software, Technology, Services, Community etc we give an award to our partners at the Sapphire conference in May. For the Community Award, we look at companies who are active on SCN, we look at their contributions on SCN (via this list) but we also look at the quality of their contributions, their involvement in SAP and community events as well as community projects.
    So to sum up and answer your question: this list helps with partner recognition, but there's more to it.
    Best regards,
    Laure (from the SCN Collaboration Team)

  • Mailing list set-up in OS X Server.

    Dear members:
    I have been looking at different options for setting up a few mailing list groups. One of the best options I have found in terms of functionality and features is Listserv software but it is very expensive and is only available in a Unix version (no OS X available) which would require me to install it using terminal.
    Two other options are DirectMail and OS X Server. According to the info page on Apple's web site setting up a mailing list in OS X Snow Leopard Server is a fairly simple thing to do. At least that is what they say.
    According to your experiences how simple is it to set up a few mailing lists in OS X ? Please consider that I am an advanced user but without any advanced training in networking or programming.
    Thank you in advance,
    JRC

    ~ Joseph ~
    i have now resolved all my issues with the mail list functions on SL... and i am pretty confused as to why it is done like it is now. done... BUT... there are now TWO ways of creating lists in SL 10.6
    1, the mailman way, which is a proper mail list server and can be relied on and has sensible mail handling and bounce control and aparantly no longer linked to workgroup manager or OD
    2, the apple-wiki tool which uses a postfix alias populated with a group membership on creation.
    SO... if you need a group that is linked to a OD group and you do not mind the complete lack of management and the fact that the mailing list will be called [email protected] then use mailing lists linked to wiki...
    OR
    Use mailman... 10.6 has now removed the link between groups and mailman lists.. and you will soon loose the workgroup manager control (that no longer works) for integration with mailman lists... if you use mailman you have an industrial strength mailing list tool that you can sync with various other DB sources (inc LDAP) and has sensible bounce and mail handling...
    it took me a while yesterday to finally realise what has really changed and what i need to do to work as normal.
    My plan is to create a group in workgroup manager called "Mailing Lists" and then with a perl script interrogate OD for groups that are in my "Master mailing list group" and then sync the OD group user list emails with the list of the same name (as any group in the OD group "mailing lists") in MailMan.... which will give me OD managed group mailing lists again and also give me [email protected] for my list name...
    i object to have to call a mailing list with a "-wiki" extension to the name, and i would like to automatically have people added to mailing lists when they are put in groups...
    i am still working on all of this and i hope my findings are of some help.

  • Can't access MacSpeech iListen mailing list

    I'm using Mail 2.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.3 using an Al PB 15" 1.67Ghz, 1GB RAM. When I try to post a message (to the list or to the owner of the mailing list), I get:
    "This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
    recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
    [email protected]
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO::
    host lists.macspeech.com [66.201.40.37]: 554 :
    Relay access denied"
    However, using EarthLink Webmail in Safari, the messages I compose go through. But I can't receive messages either through Apple Mail or EarthLink Webmail (my <[email protected]> address is the one subscribed).
    I thought that I might have been accidentally unsubscribed from the mailing list, but I am still on the list.
    I've already contacted MacSpeech and they have confirmed the problem is not on their end. That's why I'm here...I'm not sure where to start.

    I've been on their support site and they're looking into why I can't get on the lists...
    I'll update when I get a response.

  • Mail, Safari, Software Update all quitting

    Was previously having no problem with my Mac or any of these applications but since I installed SAFARI 3.1.1 THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS.
    1. When i try to open safari immediately a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
    2. On trying to open MSN a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
    3. When trying to open mail it will open for about 2 seconds, enough for me to see the mailboxes but when it tries to access and check for new mail it quits. Again no amount of retrying makes any difference.
    I can check my .mac account using Firefox but what is really killing me here is that I cannot access my business pop account via mail.+ all the settings for my pop account are stored in an email, in mail, which I cannot open.
    I have run Tech tool, Disk utility, checked file permissions, dumped the application preferences, reset the pram and all to no avail. Have Apple really messed up with this Safari update? Can it be causing problems in other applications which need to access servers over the internet as well? Really really need some help here. Why do I suspect Safari it is the only thing that has been installed on my machine for months apart from the recent firmware update.
    Just have to add this now. Just tried opening "software update" and it quit as the others. Maddening!
    Really really need some help here.
    Thanks
    Thanks

    OK
    so now Dictionary is quitting as well, same as the others. Does it connect to the internet or share any components with Safari or Mail (spell checking?). I desperation I tried searching with Sherlock. Guess what? It quits as it tries to open.
    Also just tried to update my entourage. The installer wont work either. Quits like the others
    The list of broken applications now is is.
    Mail
    Safari
    Software Update
    iweb
    Garageband
    iMovie
    iPhoto
    .mac preferences
    Application installers
    Dictionary
    Sherlock
    Microsoft update
    MSN
    I am tempted to go through all my applications (i checked a few!) and utilities and see how much of Apple's software is actually still working since I updated Safari.
    This is desperate. Am I alone out there?

  • OS X 10.5 Server - Mailing lists

    I'm trying to get mailing lists on OS X 10.5 server to work, but when I place the check mark in the "enable server group mailing lists" in server admin it does not allow me to select the server name from "Enable the following servers for this group on" xxx in the workgroup manager. What would be the best way to trouble shoot this issue?
    I've checked the console log and the mail logs and do not see any errors when enabling the server group mailing lists.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear BDAqua, YOU ARE A DUDE! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!  I was expecting this to take ages etc etc...
    It worked just like you said - took a reboot to put the HD image back on the Desktop, but what's a reboot or two between friends. I am soo releived. Thank you so much!
    I don't know if you'll remember, but you helped me previously with trying to install this .....thing of a server....
    Well now it's installed I now find out it can do more damage running than just being awkward and refusing.
    To be honest, I'm so fed up with it the only thing stopping me upgrading to a new set up is the cost of the extra 3rd party software/app upgrades to work on 10.8... (I run 10.8 on my wife's macmini and it appears quite good...)
    I also know that somehow I'm going to have to find info to set this up without any more scares like this. I haven't been able to connect the client (my other 2) macs yet - perhaps I don't know enough yet? The original manual while saying quite a lot, doesn't really explain much very well...
    Do you know anywhere I could learn to set this up? Maybe websites, youtube channels or the such like?
    Many, many thanks again. I owe you one. I'd like to buy you a drink, but I don't think it would last across the atlantic...(I'm in Wales, in the UK), and I think you're in the USA somewhere?
    Anyway, thanks for saving my bacon, and If you have any other info regarding setting up 10.5 server please drop us a line when you have a moment, otherwise, Thank you and Godbless.

  • Seminars Mailing Lists

    All of a sudden I am getting notices of seminars from all over the country. I have NOT subscribed to the mailing lists for these seminars.
    To unsubsribe you have to go to this page:
    http://seminars.apple.com/SendMeNews.html
    but this page is largely unresponsive. It takes about 3 minutes to load in and then you have to enter the email address you signed up for the lists with. Since I have about ten email addresses, and since I DID NOT sign up for these lists, how am I supposed to figure out how I was subscribed, much less get off.
    In any case I tried using my most common email address, and just got a "missing session error" after waiting an interminable time to for the appropriate page to load.
    Why is Apple spamming me and why do they make it so difficult to get off their stinking mailing lists. Why can't they have a simple "reply with Unsubscribe in the to: header" rather than referring the user to a web page which does not work. THIS STINKS.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you just get the email address the >messages are sent to from the "to" information, either in the default message >header or from the list view, opting to show that column if necessary?
    I mean, this is required info -- without it, the message can't reach you!
    Actually no. The messages are sent to addresses like:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    etc
    listserv software takes names from their mailing lists (of which I only subscribed to AZ) and sends out the message to every address on the list. Unfortunately, the individual addresses are neither put in the TO: header nor any of the other headers I am able to examine in Apple Mail.
    I was able to connect to the main page for Apple Seminars, but I can neither connect to the unsubscribe page nor the login page.
    At the bottom of the page there is a "contact us" link, but of course this just takes you to the generic "Contacting Apple" page, which we all know does not give the user any information on how to contact anyone at Apple via email.
    This is, unfortunately, just typical of the horrible customer service which pervades this business.

  • Mailing lists and message boards

    I've been using Dreamweaver for a couple of years just
    developing static websites. I don't know any php or mysql, or
    actionscripting at all (I'm a designer, programming is so tedious
    for me and I really don't have the head for it). I'm working on a
    website right now and I'd like to add a simple "Join our mailing
    list" box at the top of my main template that collects email
    addresses, and I'd also like to add a message board to the site.
    What are the easiest ways of doing this? Any help would be greatly
    appreciated, thanks!
