Mailing list software?

Hi,

I'm looking for a mailing list software to send periodic e-mails to clients. I've done a quick search and founded A LOT of them. Wich one should I use? Keep in mind this is for a small business and doesn't have to have all the bells and wistles that exist. Price is not a problem, but the cheaper the better!

Thanks

Wath are the advantages of a hosted solution? I mean, is it not easier to just pay a one time fee and end of story?

Do you have any suggestions for a software that would do that, so I could try both and see wich one suits my needs better?

For a small business the main advantage is that it keeps your IP address out of the loop i.e. if any recipient reports an email as spam (either maliciously or more often by accident) then the consequences are easily dealt with. Trying to explain to your ISP or hosting service that you are not a spammer even though you have put their IP address on the SpamCop, SPEWS,  DSBL,  Spamhaus, SORBS etc., blacklist can be time consuming and have unpleasant short term consequences.

Not me but I expect someone else here has.  Anyone?

I think I'll go with the hosted solution, but do you have a suggestion for a software like eMailManager but that you could download a trial version?
Sorry, I can't think of another one off-hand that I would be comfortable recommending.  On the two occasions that I've set up something like this (ie. not using a third-party solution), I've custom scripted something the client could manage through their website.
I looks like a 3rd party solution is the best thing to do, so I decided to go that way.

Thanks!
