I also need to filter out incorrect or out-of-date email addresses, track penetrtion, provide links, and an unsubscribe button. I am also very new to the email side of marketing so I need a USER FRIENDLY company, offering preferably software (one-time charge) opposed to the monthly fees which can add up."
