I have a client looking for an email marketing solution.

They have over 25k emails in their list so i dont think a desktop solution is viable and services such as mailchimp work out far too expensive.

Does anyone know the best solution? I thought their may be a good web based mailer script out their?

Thanks

I would recommend swift mailer.

It is a great PHP script with the ability to send batches of emails. It will even filter out bad data in your email database.

I would then create a script and a cron job to run them in batches of 500 every few minutes.

I have used this script to send out about 10,000 emails on behalf of a local university. a good tip is that if you are to do this regularly then purchase a separate VPS to send on just in case your IP gets blacklisted.

Be very wary of the above advice. If you're using my typical shared hosting then your host will have some sort of limit upon the number of emails you can send per hour using their SMTP servers. To send the volumes within the frequcnies you;re suggesting (500 every few mins) would require at least a VPS.

If you're using a PHP based solution, ensure the code doesn't keep openining multiple SMTP connections.

I'd also advice not using your main company domain to send emails, for obvious seo reasons. Simply purchase a cheap .co.uk and use that instead.
