Legit Mass Emails Cause Blacklisting

[arch3angel at gmail.com (Robert Miller)]

I had actually forgotten about PHPList thanks guys!

I sent an email to the team with the suggestion, I think PHPList would 
work, but we will see what they want.

Byte_Bucket made a good point in the channel and that was to make sure 
Marketing and Technical mass emails are separate, which makes very good 
sense and would also make it much easier to manage what we want from the 
technical side of the house.

Thanks again!
