Hi,

Lately, I've been looking for a nice affordable newsletter management system in PHP. It needs to be hosted in my server - I'm not looking for an ASP.

I've actually found up a few ones, but I don't like them for the following:

1. Octeth oemPro - A nice interface, nice set of features, but a friend told me that the e-mails don't actually work (not even activation e-mails, although test e-mails went great). Plus, their forums seem very closed to me - usually that's not a good sign :\
2. Interspire SendStudio - Not fancy-at-all interface, and a weak set of features, when compared to oemPro
3. ActiveCampaign's 1-2-All - Great features, great looks, (seems to have a) great support! Downsides: very expensive, seems that some files are encoded, removing customization possibilities
4. eMail Manager Pro - Great pricing, great looks - lacks features. For example, it has no custom user fields.
5. PHPList - Awful looks, lacks features. Free...

This brings me to a problem: where do I look at? Have you experienced with any of these? What do you think about the price/quality relationship of these? Do you know any good alternatives? Free ones too?


Thanks
