looking for email technology

Joe,

I have used a system called Concep Campaigner which I was very happy with and which would meet your needs.  Very flexible and very robust and some nice little add-ons for events and christmas cards.  Call Richard Hartshorne there on  0207 952 5598 or have a look at their site www.concepglobal.com  .

Further to the related thread about "how long to send 42,000 emails"..

I'm looking for a mailing solution that will, cost effectively, allow us to send

1) all our customer ordering correspondence (we are getting a large amount of undelivered mail - and when this is order confirmations it creates havoc)
2) marketing email (opt-ins) - probably 500,000-1m a month in HTML.

Currently we're using the solutions built onto our web front ends for the order confirmations, and Vertical Response for the marketing.  VR is proving expensive at over £1,000 per mailshot to our customer base of 250k.

we'll need to be able to prepare the communications away from this tool, and then pass them to the tool to do the sending.  the priority is that the emails arrive, and that we're not paying through the nose. 

Any ideas, solutions?
