I dont use it but you may have interest in the fact that both Alex King and Yoast supports the service. Alex by writing a plugin,and Yoast by "talking nice" about it :)

I have heard a lot of good things about MailChimp, but I have never used it.

I really like Campaign Monitor, which is very similar, but you don't have to pay a monthly fee, just pay as you send.

Which is better for you probably depends on how often you are sending, and the quantity involved.

I don't really know how many yet. I suspect for a while it will fall under the free category. The analytic's is a nice selling point, as he has a marketing director, and they love charts. It took me forever to style the plugin, but css is not my strength, and it was created by mailchimp.

I may still take a look at the one your recommend, though. It never hurts to have options. Thanks for responding.

thanks,
Danny
