Who got the first edition of our Monthly Digest?

[Dani]

Last week marked the first issue - the May issue - of our DaniWeb Monthly Digest eNewsletter. I was just looking for some feedback on it. Anyone read it? :)

[Narue]

It was automatically dumped in my Junk Email folder. I kind of left it there...

[Dani]

Oh well. I've noticed it's fallen into more Junk folders than the plain text emails I used to send out about 3 times a year, and consequently hasn't driven the same traffic burst to the site as the plain text emails.

I didn't get it at all.

The newsletter should include some of the latest tips about programming/operting systems/web like the latest news.

[DMR]

I got it. It seemed rather sparse/bland; didn't catch me, so to speak.

[Dani]

Any suggestions? Things you would like to see in a monthly newsletter? For now (at least) I would like to focus on stuff that can be automatically generated by the site, as opposed to the extra resources it would take to write articles specifically for the newsletter.

I don't currently recieve it, but I've liked that current blogger a ton (I can't think of his name off the top of my head).

His articles are pretty good, and mabe newsletter worthy.

Thanks.

I got one today. I use thundedbird version 1.5.0.4 (20060516) email.

This is the content type of the email: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

However, the entire email was test/html, so it did not render. I saw raw html.

Nothing arrived here, having checked my spam filter it wasn't trapped by it either.

Round two of the email looked very good.

I didn't get it at all.

Yep didn't got any such thing yet.:sad: :confused:

[Dani]

Yah ... second edition was sent out last week. It seems to be hit or miss who gets it. VERY frustrating to say the least.

[anupam_smart]

[DMR]

It seems to be hit or miss who gets it.

Dani, deliverability problems can be solved in two ways:

1) check the content (i.e. if you use words like Viagra, object in capital letters, html syntax errors... )

2) check the SMTP/provider? Is it blacklisted? www.openrbl.org

I solved your problems with a good ASP enewsletter manager: www.mailupnet.com , which I think it's better than similar services (ConstantContact, Vertical Response...) because it's very flexible and I pay a monthly flat fee, regardless of how many emails I send, or how many contacts I have in my DB.

Would it not be possible to have a request on this message board so that people who do want it can put down their e-mail address? Or would this be too personal/difficult. I would LOVE to get a copy!!!

No such thing here, only normal notifications.
