I was just over at Lynne's awesome discussion thread HERE and started to ponder what you all are using for your email list service. You know, to send newsletters out to your customers: Mailchimp, etc..
If you don't mind sharing..
1.) What software or online service do you use?
2.) How many subscribers do you have?
3.) How do you collect your subscribers?
4.) How often and to whom do you send emails?
5.) How much does it cost per month?
6.) What are some of the features that you can't live without?
Anything that's TMI, just skip. I realize that not everyone likes sharing info such as how much they pay for stuff and how many subs they've got. No biggy! I'm just interested to see what everyone's using, and why. 
This is an awesome discussion and I am really looking forward to what everyone else says here. I know I need to spend a little more time on my email series, I need to add some more emails in and I also want to fine tune my messages. Are you sure you want to delete this post?

[b]1.) What software or online service do you use?[/b]
I don't use any software, i rather create my own from my website's backend.
[b]2.) How many subscribers do you have?[/b]
Probably like 20 or something, not many people are interested enough in programming newsletters.
[b]3.) How do you collect your subscribers?[/b]
They signup on their own, i do not do any advertising.
[b]4.) How often and to whom do you send emails?[/b]
Probably about once a month.
[b]5.) How much does it cost per month?[/b]
$0.00, the cheapest cost ever.
[b]6.) What are some of the features that you can't live without?[/b]
Um, no comment! :D

Lynne
I am using aWeber and I am very happy with them
2.) How many subscribers do you have?
I few hundred for my online marketing website and a few thousand for my mommy blog.
3.) How do you collect your subscribers?
On my mommy blog mostly through competitions and I have a sign up form on my website. My online marketing website I have an ebook I wrote that I use to entice my readers to sign up. I give it as a free gift.
4.) How often and to whom do you send emails?
Well whenever I publish a post it gets sent out to my newsletter lists automatically... on my online marketing website I try and publish 2-3 posts a week and on my mommy blog I try and post weekly, but I am trying to up my posting schedule.
Then I have a newsletter series that goes out to my online marketing website subscribers. I have this set to weekly intervals.
5.) How much does it cost per month?
I currently pay $29 a month for my email autoresponder
6.) What are some of the features that you can't live without?
I love everything about it actually. I love the fact that every time I publish new content it sends it out to my subscribers without me havingt to do a thing. I also love the newsletter series because by putting in a bit of effort initially I can stay in contact with my readers and keep pulling them back to my website. I also love all the tutorials aWeber has, and the support is great. [b]1.) What software or online service do you use?[/b] I am using aWeber and I am very happy with them :) [b]2.)
