Thanks for the share. I made the mistake of buying MyMail which is actually alot nicer than this one in many ways. The problem I have with Mymail is (and mind you I bought 4 copies of mymail at $39 a pop before realizing the problems with it). With mymail you can only have about 25 lists... it says its unlimited, but after about 25 lists ALL your settings get lost and no errors or anything happen... Developer claims its my hosting (I have put on 3 different hosts, its not hosting)... Also, the opt-in form code is not compatible with ALOT of other plugins that do lead capture stuff. It works in some, but not in the ones I needed the most, so I was forced to abandon it. I'm happy to say that THIS ONE is compatible with all the stuff I really need, and the feature of removing from one list when subscribing to another is something mymail cannot do, and something I really want to do (migrate to buyer list for example). The main thing I see an issue with this one is, I see no way to really schedule a broadcast... but not that big of deal cuz its not hard to setup an auto-responder and schedule a broadcast that way, it just seems odd that there is no option to set a date/time to sens in the newsletter part. Also, the lack of a decent template builder, or wysiwyg designer makes it a little more difficult to the kind of 'fancy shit' I am trying to do (I hate those plane jane affiliate type emails, and my niches are for ecommerce sites, so lots of images and stuff is necessary to show sales and whatnot).. but its not that big of a deal to use a third party html designer to lay hings out, and overall this is a great plugin. +5 reps to you for sharing... will likely buy this one myself, but was happy to have this to test and make sure things work before I do.

Awesome review!

A BIG thanks from the entire
BBHF family!

I think you can setup timer for broad massage, or I did not understand well... in
INCampaign


Thanks man for useful info about MyMail.
What I do not like with Broadfast - you can set up next massages in days, not in minutes.

The image you show is of Mymail, not Broadfast. What I was saying was in broadfast I see no way to schedule delivery of a newsletter other than setting up an autoresponder. In Mymail you can do that. I've found something else I'm not liking with Broadfast also, or possibly it is the Easy WP SMTP plugin I am using with it to send through amazon ses. Somehow my DKIM signing is not showing up (using easy DKIM) and my messages are going to spam folder. I'm not even sure how thats possible because its amazon who signs it with my dkim automatically as it passes through their server... at least thats how I understand it... the dkim shows up fine with the mail I send with mymail on the same domain and everything. Not sure whats happening there, but I've been screwing with this all day now:/

Good review @Mastermind ++
Good share @tiger777 ++
Good mirror @Nick09 ++

Repp for u all... thanks BBHF...

Ok, I figured out that the problem with the DKIM signing is actually with the (free) Easy WP SMTP plugin (that the broadfast guy suggested on his site as one to use)... I got rid of that one and used this one instead and my dkim signature and spf records come through again. BTW, If you are not sure what DKIM or SPF is, and you are in the business of sending email you should look into it... especially if you are having issues with staying out of the spam folder:)

Maybe I am just too much of a perfectionist, and I am beating a dead horse here, but I have been screwing with this all day now... another CON of this broadfast is you cant select multiple mailing lists when you send a newsletter... Thats kind of a big one if you ask me... I mean you can just create another newsletter and copy/paste it then select the next list and do it again, but if you are anything like me, (I have 52 different mailing lists) thats kind of a big deal if you want to just blast a message to EVERYONE:/

Heres the link to the SMTP plugin I am using (its an older one, but it works!:)

Thanks! - Max reps added for tiger777 and Nick09

what reason would you have to blast the same message to all 52 lists? that makes absolutely no sense. you'd either be sending irrelevant content to most of your subscribers or spamming them. i am assuming your 52 lists are not in the same niche. i like your suggestions though. you should be able to schedule a broadcast and to multiple lists. shoot the product creator a message for those suggestions

Yea, I can see how that sounds... but I have 52 sub-niches under 1 broad niche. I'm basically in the health niche (the broad niche), and sometimes I have products that would appeal to everyone, or even just 5-10 of my lists, but they needed to be divided because MOST of the time its very specific stuff that not everyone on the other lists would be interested in. This would also be the case if you were selling info products really.. I would have a separate list for each product I sold (say wp plugins) so that you can send updates and info specific to that product to your customers, but when you launch a new plugin you would want to mail to your entire list wouldn't you? I did it this way for the very purpose of avoiding sending spammy crap to people who end up unsubscribing if they get too much irrelevant crap in their inbox. I work very hard on retention because I drive traffic with paid ads and customer acquisition is fairly expensive. I dont blast to my entire list very often, maybe once a month or so probably, so its not like its something that kills the deal because like I said, this one works for everything else. I used to use interspire a year or so ago but I had some problems with it (using a crack) and its just too expensive to buy it imho, but it was pretty good. What I am doing right now to overcome this problem is making a ubot that can set up the mailout to the lists that I choose:) Its kind of a micky-mouse way to do it, but it will do the job:)

@MasterMind

I'd contact the developer. I guarantee they'd be interested in adding those features as it adds value to their script. Shouldn't be too difficult either.
