I'm looking for a good newsletter website; that will be able to send out newsletter to my current customers.
Does anyone use or know of any good newsletter websites?
Thank you,

Haven't started newsletters, but I've heard good things about ConstantContact

It all depends on how many subscribers you have or plan to have. Also how often you will mail them. You can also run an email/newsletter solution on your own server. OpenEMM is one of these packages that comes free but needs someone knowledgable for installation. but i have heard a lot of praise about it. The advantage of service providers is that they have already established a reputation with the big ISPs and therefore could get a better deliverability (mostly in B2C as B2B usually doesn't use Yahoo or AOL or Hotmail).

Have used EmailVision - not too bad, customer service has been a bit hit and miss, but their software is powerful enough to do the job, but not so complex that you need a pilots licence to use it!
Where I am based now we use DMS / Mailtrack that uses some software called Neolane - the possibilities are endless, but a lot harder to get to grips with - you can have it react to how the users interact with your mailings very well.
Don't use your own servers - your deliverability will be poor, and you will end up being blacklisted so even your order confirmations etc will end up blocked.

Thanks, I'll take a further look into each of those...
I currently installed "PHPList" since it's free and opend source. It's not bad, but I'm sure the other ones that you guys listed are better.
I wish there was an easier way to create templates in "PHPList" or better yet have a set of pre-made templates that admins can pick from.
