a few questions
1. Does this product have any feature for verifying email addresses. IE can Users / Subscribers validated before they recieve any emailings.

2. Does it integrate in anyway with LinkSQL?

3. The prize seems a bit over the tope since there are many very similar products out there for free. Why so expensive?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, Gossamer List does have built-in features for verifying email addresses, and you can set the option in the admin to validate or not to validate new subscribers.

As of right now, no, it doesn't integrate with Links SQL, but we're working on that and we should have a method for this shortly.

At Gossamer Threads, we support as much as possible non-profit, non-commercial organisations with our shareware programs which are free for their usage. We also provide discounts to all non-profit agencies for all of our SQL backended programs, including free licenses for Gossamer Forum for qualifying organizations. Due to the typical nature of mailing lists, we price it accordingly. Non-profit organizations or charitable institutions do qualify for discounts on this program, but due to the nature of Gossamer List, we've decided to price it at commercial levels.

Jack.

Just thought I'd add that in addition to admin validated emails it also supports "double opt-in" subscriptions -- a user must validate their email address before the subscription is active. Also, you can integrate it with Links SQL if you are using Gossamer Community. Community users can pick which lists they would like to join.

Cheers,

Alex
