SMTP Hotmail settings are inefficient for email marketing because:
- Hotmail limits how many emails you can send per day. - 100
- You have to have thousands of accounts to send a decent amount of emails
- Quick road to spam lists, meaning your emails don't even reach the inbox. Then your accounts get banned.
There are better options! For example:
- Icontact
Icontact offers an excellent service at great prices. With their easy setup, you are up in running in minutes. They boast 500+ templates. You can easily track and get reports. Integrates with Twitter and Facebook. Signup forms for your websites... really a whole lot more. Lots of tools. Stays whitelisted, which means no spam lists. Trial available.
- Aweber
Aweber and Icontact are practically equals. You would simply have to figure out exactly what you want, and find out which provider will give you the best deal. Pricing between the two varies on what you need. Aweber has 150+ templates and lots of tools for whatever you need. Also stays whitelisted. They also have a trial available.
- Rent-A-List
Rent-A-List is different than Aweber and Icontact. With Rent-A-List, you are actually purchasing emails sent to lazer targeted customers. They have excellent prices with very responsive lists. If you don't want to go through the trouble of list building, then this is the option for you.
Hotmail SMTP
To summarize, using the hotmail smtp server is not the way to go for email marketing and sending out bulk emails. If you want to use the hotmail smtp or pop3 servers for your email client, such as Outlook Express, then these setting should be ideal for you. If you are looking for information about email marketing, please consider a good service provider such as the sites listed above.
