I've worked with a multitude of bulk email programs over the past 6 years and they all have their pros and cons. There didn't seem to be one that could do it all for me and some are so convoluted I just never got started or I spent loads of hours setting them up only to find out I needed to buy something before I could send 1000's of emails.

Maian Responder is self-hosted, feature packed yet simple to use and once you have installed and setup the system (which is very easy) you can fire away emails without worrying about escalating costs or email limits. Obviously, managing your own reputation carefully is a prerequisite but any legitimate email sender will understand this and not expect software to compensate for reckless email spamming.

Used in conjunction with Amazon's SES as your SMTP you can happily send 2000 emails a day (for FREE) without worrying about a thing.

If you are sick of hunting for a decent self-hosted option, buy Maian Responder and start marketing instead of cobbling together bad solutions.

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for

After a few weeks of searching the web for a email auto responder provider I came across the Maian Responder. The website is very clean and professional in its appearance and was easy to get the information I was after.

The website offered a "Free" trail and stated that version 2 was due out in the next few weeks, so with nothing to loose I downloaded it.

I opened up the files and read the information on how to install it, well what can I say, the script is so easy to install it almost falls over itself trying to help you, it is so easy, within 10 minutes of downloading the files the responder was running on my wife's domain. After logging into the admin control panel and a few clicks I had my first email auto responder up an running, so easy and worked right out the box.

I did have one little issue so I emailed support, within 10 minutes, I had a response from the owner/developer who explained that I had not completed a task prior to the install, so it was nothing wrong with the software just me being eager !!

After several days version 2 of the software was released so I attempted the upgrade, this also was very easy to do. After upgrading the software and testing I decided to buy the software not only for my wife's domain. I can honestly say that the install was just as easy on my second domain and the licencing too was very straight forward. I cannot recommend this software highly enough.

Well done to the developer and I trust more software will be developed over the coming years.

I have been using phpcart up till a while ago, because it is no longer being supported. I can tell you your cart software beats the hell out of theirs.

I have been using MAIAN PAL for a good few months now and I never regretted downloading it. It is a doddle to install, extremely lightweight so it hardly eats up any of your resources and using it is a real joy.

MAIAN PAL is extremely user-friendly and intuitive for the user and admin alike, hardly any problem finding your way around in the program, while adding, removing or editing anything in your shop couldn't be simpler.

MAIAN PAL could easily compete with the much bigger, much more bloated and much more expensive (you can get MAIAN PAL for free) shopping scripts out there, the scripts that are full of bells and whistles many of us will most likely never even use.

If you are looking for a quickly installed, easy to use and easy to maintain script, then MAIAN PAL is definitely for you.

West Norfolk Radio have recently purchased Maian Music to provide independent artists another outlet to sell music.

The Program was easy to load onto our server without professional help, although we did have a problem of our own making.

We contacted MS World and David had this sorted within hours. We are still testing the program before it goes live and are very impressed with its performance.

I just wanted to say thank you for writing such a great, clear piece of software! Fantastic work - really functional, clear, organised.

I have really respected the Maian Help Desk system after one of our IT staff researched and recommended it in 2015. We have been using it ever since, but recently needed to upgrade from 3.6. Now I have the feel for the 4.1 after setting it up on one help desk and it is a complete WOW.

It works beautifully. Thank you Sir for creating, maintaining, and updating this beautiful software.

Maian Cart is one of the best free Shopping Cart systems available to date. FACT! We run a small on-line retail business and wanted to move away from expensive overheads of hosted cart systems to something we could manipulate with ease when the need arises. Main Cart fitted the bill perfectly and for a small fee Dave not only took our design ideas on board and tweaked the system to meet our needs but also helped install and give valuable support for the few weeks after go live
