Excellent Tech !

I was over at Fred Wilson’s blog and saw something interesting I hadn’t thought of as an alternative to managing an email server. For background see yesterday’s post.

Right now we’re using Google Groups to send email to people who want to subscribe, but even that depends on us having a working mail server for us to send mail to from a script.

This is basically the only function I need a mail server for, so I was wondering if there’s a web service somewhere I could use for this function? Fred uses FeedBlitz. I’m going to check it out, but I’m not sure if it’d work for me. They make users get an account. That sounds like too much of a committment.

Do any of you have any recommendations? Barring that, does anyone have a mail server I could use? I know that sounds pathetic, but I’m so fed up with mail servers. It used to be so easy, but then the spammers ruined it.

Any advice would be most welcome.
