"Features that we need: - we need a system that cna be used for both end customers (B to C) & affiliate partners (B to B) - tracks bounces, invalid emails, etc. - tracks # of times openned, etc. - integrates with outside email lists (can be done with a manual import, but would be MUCH better if we could automate this) - has the ability to send both HTML & text emails - some automation features would be good - must track what emails have been sent to each customer or affiliate account - we need to be able to send unique codes to each customer (so that they can enter this into a website and receive special offers - need to have a opt-out feature - there is probably more to add to this list, but I can't think of more right now,."
