CCtoMany.com: The Answer To Managing Mailing Lists?
If you're new here, you may want to click here to subscribe to my RSS Feed. Thanks for visiting!
Many businesses, (online and off-line), and now bloggers, like to keep customers and readers up to date on the latest information. The solution-mailing lists. At first, you think, “Sure, I can keep track of 10 persons to email on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.” But before long, the original list of 10 grows to 20, then 50 and so on. Emails bounce back to your server, bogging down resources, customers requesting removal, change of email addresses and general questions. Before you know it, the simple mailing list is taking up more of your time than the real purpose of the list-to provide important information to your contacts, frying your brain and your computer.
As I have stated before, I never review a product or service unless I feel it will benefit myself, or those who read my blog. When I was approached by the company to look at the site I knew I would write a review. Why? Not for monetary reasons, not for any free gifts, but the service works. Oh, you may want to know the link, right? CCtoMany.com, although new, is well on its way to becoming one of the easiest and most reliable mailing lists services I have come across. To quote from the site, their, “focus is simplicity and ease of use.” Here is how it works:
- Compose your email.
- Send it to the account you set up, which consists of an email address along the lines of Send it To: control-thenameofyourlist@cctomany.com.
- All recipients signed up for your list receive a copy of the email.
Recipients never see the email addresses of others, bounce-back emails are sent to the CCtoMany.com server- not your server, and those on the mailing list have the ability to remove themselves from the list, or update their information, without contacting you. Not only does this save you time in order to produce the information to send, but lessens the burden on you and your email servers.
Although the service isn’t free, the pricing is very reasonable. The lowest,at $15 per month, will give you the ability to create an email list for 0-1000 recipients. If you’re interested in other pricing options, take a look at the pricing page for additional details. One huge plus-CCtoMany.com accepts PayPal, and if security is a concern, your financial information will never be given. If you aren’t sure CCtoMany.com is the right solution for you, they offer a 14 day free trial. This will allow you to try the service and determine if it meets or exceeds the needs of your mailing list. Customer support is also a click away if you cannot find an answer to a question in the FAQs section. Lastly, the reason I like the concept and the company, they recommend using Thunderbird, (which is an open source email client), if you do not want to use a web-based email account. (Read the information under the Newsletter section for additional information), and I am always willing to give kudos to a company who is promotes the usage of open source software.
If you’ve been considering an email list, or already run a list, consider taking a look at CCtoMany.com-ask questions, interact and find the solution that is right for you.

OMG, just feeling shock for the burned laptop, …
There’s another solution: RSS Feeds. (that’s how I’m subscribed here)
You can even have a service like Feedburner create a mailing list from an RSS feed, and it’s free.
I feel this program is praying ont he insecurities of others! I mean, doesn’t anybody know how to BCC through a mail client these days? Sheesh…
…having said that though, I had a butchers and it does look bloody great.
Damn bloody typographical errors. After all, it is 10.12am here. I’m still hungover! Can that CCtoMany thing sort that out too?
@Marf: A good, free alternative - for people who know how to do it! CCtoMany is for those who don’t have a clue re. RSS or feeds.
@Qelgoth: You didn’t read our first FAQ did ya?
Of course you can use Bcc - but ISPs won’t let you Bcc to thousands or even hundreds of recipients. And, Bcc’s are often filtered as spam since so much spam is sent as Bcc.
Thanks for the review on this.
I checked it out and must say that this is a great service - nice job Byron!
