Hello
Your product has been recommended to me, I hope you will be able to answer my, no doubt naive, questions. Thank you.
I am in involved in my daughter's school Parents and Citizens Association - a volunteer, not for profit organisation.
To get info out to all parents we have a hotmail email address that we've been using. When we started there were only a few dozen addresses so it was fine but as the list of names increases the limitations of Hotmail are obvious.
We have a mailing list of around 300 and it could grow to around 800. We send a weekly "what's on" plus minutes of various meetings once or twice a month.
Hotmail restricts
a.. the number of emails sent in a 24 hr period,
b.. the number of addresses you can have per group
c.. the size of the email
d.. attachments etc
plus it is not a particularly user friendly system, all understandable with a basic free service. Upgrades, which you pay for don't really seem to help.
Our needs are for a system that will:
a.. Allow a mail out to a large number of addresses
b.. Not unreasonably restrict size ( ours aren't that big!)
c.. Most importantly - keep email addresses and personal information PRIVATE.
d.. Not taken over by spammers.
We don't have a webpage nor do we want one ( we piggy back on the school's webpage).
Could you advise whether Mailman might be the answer and what is involved.
Many thanks
Kathy Sokk
