Email Notifications of new posts to users - suggestions

Question

I currently am using the Subscriber2 plugin to send email notifications to subscribers of new blog posts, but that plugin has not been working properly for a while on my site.

Can someone suggest some alternative plugins.

I only need the following... - sends emails with part of the post to subscribers on a mailing list - sidebar widget so new subscribers can enter their email address to sign up - import feature so I can take emails and import them into this new system

Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you thought about using feedburner? I'm using feedburner to handle subscribers. And it emails subscribers once a new post is made.

You should be able to import your subscribers by emailing the csv file to feedback@feedburner.com and informing support that you are moving to use Feedburner.

Answer 2

I highly recommend MailChimp. There's an RSS to Email Campaign that is nice and customizable. Free up to 2000 subscribers. The RSS URL is example.com/feed/

And MailChimp has subscription plugins, of course.

I want to 2nd using Feedburner. I use it for our email subscriptions and it's been great. You get stats of how many people are clicking through, the daily interaction numbers, etc. Have you tried Feedburner?
