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.

I must record my congratulations to you on producing such a magnificent piece of software. Although it is very comprehensive and powerful offering countless facilities, it still retains a very user-friendly and intuitive interface for the administrator.

Earlier this year I was searching for a shopping cart so that I could implement e-shopping for some of our clients' websites. When I stumbled across Maian Cart version-1 I was impressed, but as soon as I discovered that version-2 was being produced I halted my work and waited for the new version to arrive.

I must say that my waiting has not been in vain as I now have access to a brilliant piece of software that makes creating a shopping cart a "breeze".

If anyone is looking to implement a shopping cart quickly and easily (without having to understand in-depth programming) then I strongly recommend you take a look at Maian Cart version-2.

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 very happy to have purchased this software. Maian Responder is a complete software yet, simple. It is robust and works perfect. To me, what I like is that it is easy to manage campaigns, subscribers and messages. Other software or plugins usually complicate everything to manage. Therefore, Maian Responder has a light appearance and an intuitive environment.

I know that David, gradually, will incorporate new features to improve the Autoresponder, because he listens to users like me, when we suggest new features or logical changes that increase the power.

I have many years buying services and software, but technical support David, is absolutely amazing, fast, and effective

Your support script has been a complete life saver for me, handling 100's of tickets in a completely professional way.

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!

Its the fact that it is super easy to learn, it executes superfast, and it works off your phone. I could sing its praises all day, but instead, I'd urge anyone looking into email marketing to give this a try.

Maian Guardian is a great product and it will definitely work well.

I am very happy with the framework you are providing. It's light, fast and very easy to modify. Congratulations on an amazing product!.

Maian Greetings was exactly what I needed for my ecard site.  The system is really impressive and the facility for personalisation is great.  I love the ability to include YouTube videos rather than just having to host every ecard on your server.  When I recently switched hosting services, I received excellent support from David to assist with the migration.  Very impressive.
