Email Marketing Software

Why do people use email programs instead of just using web based ones like gmail and yahoo? Isn’t it better because you don’t have to use up system power running a program, you can do it all from the web?

Outside of thos automatic feed ones like feedburner.

I have 2800 people i need to send an email to. my regular email system wotn allow me email anywhere near that amont . Anyone have a good idea of programs i cna use to email those amoutno f people > (They all subscribed to be on my mailing list, by no means is this spam)

As we know some people use email collecting softwares (Email harvesters) and bulk mail sending softwares to spam, Most of these softwares are made buy USA based companies.If USA people and government **** SPAM why they allow them to sell and produce the softwares like this? Are their any sign of going to Band bulk mail softwares manufactures In USA future?

There a many software that you can install yourself and not have to pay monthly.

So why people would choose to make a monthly payment instead of just buying a software once and have the same features to send marketing mails?

What are the major difference?

i know there are marketing email companies like:iContact Constant Contact Benchmark Bronto Campaigner Vertical Response MailChimp Stream Send etc..

but there are also great softwares out there that does the same thing.

What i want to know is why people would just waste their money on a monthly service instead of just buying a software once and have the same service.

any input will be great.

thanks

Really i wonder why no website or software that reminds the people by sms or email about the reaching of the expiry date. example: passport, driving license, visa, insurance policy, subscription of tv channel extra..

in my yahoo address book, including myself,wife,and daughter. Some people received the email but a lot did not. Why? What can I do? I am using my yahoo for business and need to know that my emails are bing received.

If I want to build a website and post comments/URLs/graphics
then have visitors comment on them and or email my comment to one of there friends how do I do that? what software would I use I want to say blogging software but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m looking for.
