I love this piece of software

I just started a new Kickstarter campaign and had to send a few thousand mails to former subscribers. Mailtrain as an option looks like early 2000's. Listmonk does the job well.

Try it out for your next newsletter. And if everything works out, we have a cool new feature in Cloudron 7.3 for bounce handling, which is currently done manually.

Tell us more!

@luckow Information on bounces is at https://listmonk.app/docs/bounces/ . Are you referring to automating the POP3 setup in the package?

@robi I plan to write a post about "how to decide which tool is appropriate for newsletters and why" (I'll let you know about that post when it's done), but right now I'm spending a lot of time answering questions via email, setting up freescout as a helpdesk (on Cloudron), updating the FAQ (WordPress on Cloudron), getting more insights (Kutt on Cloudron), and keeping an eye on the ongoing campaign. If you're interested in renewable energy and are able to translate German into your preferred language, here's the link to Kickstarter -> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/indielux/ready2plugin-der-schlussel-fur-den-eigenen-solarstrom

@luckow Are newsletters really that useful and helpful?

[marcusquinn]

@LoudLemur Some! I pay for a few from Patreon sponsorships, and always look forward to them from my buddy Dan Carr:

@LoudLemur Good question. Let's think about a subheading, "What is a newsletter and why? What goals does it serve?"

That is the only method some people use for their entire business, even without a website.
