Just to add another data point -- There is a local network of small
tech entrepreneurs in my region. They have an email list for
discussing various aspects of running small businesses (sometimes just
one person out of their home), and one of the questions that
frequently comes up is how to get out bulk mailings to their
customers. When that topic comes up, one of the most common
recommendations, and what many of them use, is Constant Contact. It
does the job cleanly and efficiently and fits in their budgets. Many
of them have had an experience of trying to do it themselves and
getting tangled up with their ISP's policies.
So, even though I cringe when I hear a name like Constant Contact, it
does serve a legitimate business need.
And one more data point: a bunch of local parent-teacher organizations
use Constant Contact for their newsletters and announcements.
