Wow!, Thanks for the detailed response.<br><br>-Parolkar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 12:04 PM, Glenn @ Ruby Pond Ltd <span dir="ltr"><[MASKED]></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="im">> Any recommendation for such service?, Please share your experience.<br>
<br>
</div>I've used or been involved with the integration of quite a few over<br>
the past 18 months. Mailchimp is definitely my favorite for sheer ease<br>
of integration, quality of documentation, and helpfulness of support.<br>
If you've not found it already, search for the article on<br>
"pseudo-transactional emails" to get it to do what you want.<br>
<br>
Campaign Monitor looks quite good, but would be expensive for<br>
transactional emails given their pricing structure (and gets very<br>
expensive once you hit any real scale).<br>
<br>
Emailvision is quite an extensive system that does almost everything<br>
you'd want, we suffered from unreliable and slow delivery of emails<br>
with them though.<br>
<br>
Madmimi looks pretty good, with a very very simple API. I've not used<br>
it as the API didn't actually support our requirements, but the<br>
pragprog guys apparently use it so it can't be too bad... right?<br>
<br>
We're currently trialling ExactRespone. Looks to be another very<br>
flexible system with a rich API. The biggest problem with them is the<br>
cost.<br>
<br>
Sign-up.to had what appeared to be a very well designed system that<br>
naturally solved many of the list management problems we'd encountered<br>
with other providers, sadly they fell short on a few of our other<br>
requirements so we never used them at any real scale.<br>
<br>
Hopefully gives you some further places to look. Without confirming it<br>
myself, I suspect you can probably take the Mailchimp approach to<br>
doing transactional emails with any of them via their provided APIs.<br>
