Publisher review:SimpleOptIn is an easy way to set up your very own confirmed opt-in mailing list system using PHP and MySQL. A confirmed opt-in list ensures that no one gets your email without requesting it, by requiring subscribers to verify their subscriptions before they receive any messages.
This is the responsible way to run a mailing list, and it will cut down or eliminate the possibility of your mail being viewed as spam.Over the past few years, spam has become a huge problem on the internet. Unfortunately, many sites run "opt out" or "single opt-in" lists, which contribute to the spam problem by allowing bogus signups, typo addresses, malicious or revenge signups, and more. Such unverified subscriptions taint the mailing list, and are wide open for abuse. Don't let your mailing list fall into this category! Run your list or newsletter responsibly, by using a confirmed opt-in system such as SimpleOptIn. When someone signs up for your list powered by SimpleOptIn, they'll get a verification email immediately, which contains a link for them to confirm their subscription. If they don't click the link and validate their subscription, they will never receive another email from your mailing list. This sequence completely eliminates the possibility for "accidental subscribers" (e.g. david@example.com erroneously signs up as dave@example.com) or "victim subscribers" (e.g. someone hates bob@example.com so they sign him up for every mailing list they can find) from getting bombarded with your email and reporting you as a spammer.The confirmed opt-in method, also known as "double opt-in," makes it impossible for someone to receive messages from your mailing list without both signing up and confirming their request.
In this manner, you can be assured that each and every email you send out is getting to someone who asked for it. Not only does this make your list subscriber-friendly, it also makes your list a more valuable audience!If you're not running a confirmed opt-in list, chances are you've already got some "subscribers" who don't really want to be getting your mail. Create a responsible list the easy way with SimpleOptIn!Please note that at the current time, SimpleOptIn only supports text based emails. It does not support HTML or attachments.
