Bulk Mailing & Litmus Test

Question

I want to send bulk mail on around 10 Million records, presently I am using Sendy for the same, But I tried sending mails and most of the mails are going in SPAM.

So I want to Ask

1) How to hit Inbox in Bulk Mailing.

2) Is there any other low pricing bulk mailing services like Sendy.

3) For testing my mail we have a website - www.litmus.com, but its too costly to go with, is something similar to it. which is free or charge on basis of per mail.

Regards

Answer 1

sendy is a good option ,the reason it goes to spam is because of your own server if you use the self hosted option ...what you need to get is a dedicated server whose IP is not blacklisted ...and configure it properly ...

Sendgrid is another decent option for such things ...you may need to first do hit and try to see what suites you

As the other answer say mail chimp is the best buy , because you are using emails it gets you alot of sales this investing isn't a bad option if you are serious about it ..

For my Weekly Newsletter I use Revresponse ,which doesn't allow importing unless you have their subscribed time (so when I planned using this service I contacted them and they imported the 80K registered members list on the system manually ) ..I just send newsletter of my blog post updates

You can share your experience and concerns I can look for a service or review it as per your needs

Answer 2

To send bulk emails you get two options

1: Black Hat Method

2: Services

To talk about Black hat Methods, actually you'll have to run a mailer script on any server and put all of your emails there, it will send the message in bulk to all, (Test different servers to make sure your email hits the inbox).

the Second method is to go for any paid service, MailChimp is one of the famous, cheapest and relaible mailing service i would recommend.
