I am curious do you guys send out emails from the backend using Xenforo for your e-blasts or do you use a email marketing program? I currently use icontact but I am leaving them as they are way to strict, let me know what you guys recommend thx
There is a XenForo add-on for MailChimp and I have also created one for AWeber (I'm in negotiation with the guys who funded development to be able to release this for free).
It's always better to use a proper service such as these as it handles things like bounce backs and failures.
