Does anyone know of a good mailing list server product?
I'm currently using LetterRip Pro 3.0.7 under Mac OS 9 which has worked well for several years. Unfortunately, with the onslaught of spam, the messages from LetterRip are now regularly getting trapped in people's spam blockers. The primary reason for this is because LetterRip BCCs all recipients so you can't tell which email address the message was sent to. As a result, the message looks exactly like spam.
In my case, I'm NOT sending out spam. I'm sending outage warnings for my service to people who have signed up and are paying to use it. It's important that they get these messages. They can also opt-out anytime they want to.
LetterRip Pro was acquired by a new company (LetterRip Software) over a year ago and claimed to be developing an OS X version. However, they haven't produced anything and they've never responded to my emails inquiring about it.
Does anyone know of another good mailing list product out there for Mac OS? I'd rather not have to switch to a Windoze product if possible.

Since my previous post I've finally gotten in contact with LetterRip Software who confirmed that they are developing LetterRip Pro 4.0 and made a beta-release available for me to demo (OS 9 and X). My brief experience with it showed that it now includes an option to "personalize" the "To" address with each person's email so messages aren't "bcc'd" and, thus, won't get blocked by the typical spam blocker.
I'm still interested if anyone is aware of another mailing list server for Mac OS.
