Have you done a search on Google for mailing list scripts?

Check with you host as well, to find out if they will let you use formmail. They sometimes have software for you to use. But, formmail is the most popular (that I've seen) for straight HTML.

you can use aweber.com but its really expensive. I doubt if you're going to find any free newsletter scripts. but if you want you can check out aweber. i use that on my php site. it lets you collect emails and send out automated newsletters and followup.

Aweber is the best out there. I don't think it's expensive for what you get. After all, you get what you pay for. If you're planning to use it for business purposes, this is not the place to skimp.

Free autorespnder services are going to only bring you heartache and ads in your emails. Not very professional at all.

Aweber has a free 30 day trial though.

P.S. I've tried 3 different autoresponders so it's not that I just use Aweber and am biased.

I also use and like Aweber. Perhaps other services do as well but I can certainly recommend them for an excellent service, well designed and supported.

The reasons for using a service like this are many. First, it automatically collects and organizes your leads by the categories you set up. Wow does that save time! Perhaps most important it keeps you out of trouble (protects you from being blackballed for spamming) by automatically sending a confirmation letter to anyone who signs up and requiring a click back confirmation. Also, Aweber runs the Spam Assassination program on your email, then gives you a feed back with a list of all the problems in your email that cause problems. The words at issue are highlighted so you can make changes to avoid being blocked. Then you can recheck. Also, you have a full record of each address showing deliveries and even information about opened mail, etc.

About $15 a month may seem like a lot to some, but I think that is a real bargain when you think of all the really necessary work they do for you.
