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.

Great script.... thank you!

I want you to know that this is what I have been looking for over the past year ... the strongest value, right now, is that the app has functionality to connect particular fields to one or more departments. EXCELLENT!!!!!!

This is going to work out great for me. I am a big fan of "keep it simple" and "solve the problem, don't make more." This system is perfect. Automatic ticket creation from inbound email. Auto account creation. Auto everything. Thanks again for building this great product. The mobile interface is great, too!!

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 really love your software! So smooth and essential, it is exactly what I need!!!

I use Maian Music and Maian Affiliate, they work in conjunction with each other and I have found them really helpful for me. The support is second to none. The free trial is a super idea to test out if any of the Maian software is suitable for your use. I purchased commercial licences for my Maian software, low cost, good value and I highly recommend the products and the company.

I am a complete newbie to php ticket support applications....it is not part of my job and I am not even a programmer. So when my partners told me to get a ticket support system up and running, with a "just make it happen" attitude, I was a bit overwhelmed.

Lucky for me I stumbled onto Maian Support and found David Ian Bennett. I do not know if Maian is a good support system or not, it does not really matter.

What I do know is that David offers the best support and services I have ever received. I have asked him endless questions (some of them really stupid) and he never gives up....his patience is endless.

I do not know David, we have never met and I have never spoken to him on the phone. For me, David is just a guy who really does give you "a helping hand" when you need it.

Kudos to you David, you deserve it!

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

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
