Actually, after making a pass at running a "huge" (25,000 subs when I did the
message run) list, I think that software that can handle that size range can
easily justify its price. I blew basically a day babysitting zmailer because
it kept puking all over the place. I left that job with nearly 1000 bounce
messages sitting in mailboxes; at one a minute they would have taken literally
days to read. The list would have run once a month (it was a newsletter), so
4 days of my time (at a burdened rate of $50-$60/hour) would have run say
$1600 each month. A year of that pays for a lot of heavy-duty list-manager
software.
What you're paying for is industrial-strength design, coding, testing and
experience. Take my case and do it daily or weekly. $5000 is cheap for a
piece of software that makes it routine and automated for lists with 10s of
thousands of subscribers.
