Most of the autoresponder email automation services are paid. For example mailchimp, madmimi and few others have free plans but they don't allow the autoresponder system. I wish to find out if there are any services that allow the free autoresponder system.

Do you know any good free autoresponder plans for mail marketing?

The only autorespond I saw was in my Gmail account, which you can set up when you're on vacation or tied up with things and can't get to your email. Honestly, I haven't even used this service since my cellphone has data that I could check in for important emails anywhere I go. I like to be prompt in answering inquiry from advertisers.

So I don't really know another service! Did you do a Google search?

You can use an add-on to Gmail called GMass. This allows you to set up a small autoresponder series - only about 3 messages I think. You can send to up to 500 people per day.

Getresponse has a free trial for 30 days, and Aweber is $1 for the first 30 days. TrafficWave also has a free 30-day trial.

MailChimp is free to send to up to 2000 people, but you can't send automatically - they have to be manual "broadcasts".

Listwire is a totally free email autoresponder system. It's been running a few years and seems reliable.

Response Magic is a free autoresponder for up to 500 subscribers.

You can set up your own autoresponder using a script on your own domain. There is a "listbuilder script" produced by LeadsLeap which looks quite useful.

I've used or tried all of those (apart from the LeadsLeap script) over about the last year. I like Getresponse as they also have a good quality landing-page builder in their system.

Cheers,

Jon.

I thought some email programs had these included. I was sure my Yahoo account had one. You could probably have stuff forwarded to an account that has one available when you're just starting out and move onto something else as you grown.

I have also heard of Listwire as well. I can't remember if it has ads or is ad free though.

Autoresponder service not as in our personal mail. But the optin based auto responder. The thing with mailchimp is that they don't allow that for free users. And also other mail marketing programs have it for the paid users only. This makes it really hard for anyone to even continue with the autoresponder service. So far I have not found that with any option available out there.
