Free specialized E-mail services
|
Here is a roundup of the Web's most notable specialized E-mail-related services. These include free mailing list services, which allow you to send a message to hundreds of people who've subscribed to your E-mail "newsletter" (a useful way to keep in touch with visitors to your Web site or your business's customers.)
We also list several new services that allow you to send E-mail to a service that will print out your message and forward it, as well as services that allow you to add E-mail to your own Web site.
Please send us E-mail if you're aware of any specialized free E-mail-related services that we haven't listed below.

 ListBot - This service offers a free mailing list for your Web site. ListBot's mailing lists allow you to send announcements and news to people who sign up. It uses a centralized database so that list members only have to enter their information once and can manage all of their subscriptions from a single Web site.
