I have a strong conviction that you should not use your hosted autoresponder. Here is another reason.

If your website is hacked or malfunctions, ALL your marketing is halted to a complete stop if you host your own autoresponder at your own server.

This has been the case for the in the past 2 days. After much effort, I was able to regain the control of my websites. Fortunately, I am using 3rd party autoresponder for my email marketing - which has proven its worth again during the past 2 days’ some hacker’s attack.

If you are considering to employ email marketing as part of your marketing strategy, do consider to use a third party autoresponder, such as aweber or getresponse, instead of self-hosted solution.

Though it’s a bit more expensive, I am glad that I hosted it somewhere else.

Talk soon,

Roy
