We have a local council in the UK as a client, and in addition to a leaflet campaign they also want to send out the information via emai.
They haven't sent out regular email newsletters in the past, although it is something they would like to be doing on a regular basis in the future.
So far they've sent emails to mailing lists generated from their CMR database (via a CSV file).
It could now be the time for them to move to something more sophisticated where people can subscribe/unsubscribe, and it'd be easy for them to send emails that are professionally done, i.e. based on proper templates and with a proper and neat text-only version.
My impression has been that this can be best dono through some online service. Am I right, and can you recommend any good UK-based services?
Many thanks.

Have you considered getting an in house solution for your client?

Because of the nature of the campaigns a council shouldn't have problems with deliverability, will likely only send plain text messages, but could end up with a large list, sending a considerable number of mailings.

We have found Lyris to provide excellent service and allow us to have the control that we need for our campaigns.
