I’ve been using Aweber for a few years and my emails are still getting through. I’m not happy my subscribers got spam but I guess that could happen with another email marketing company if I switched. I’m guessing email is still getting passed spam filters because Aweber has always been a double opt-in service.

John my thinking is the same as yours, “Could happen with another email marketing company if I switched”. Plus Aweber’s popup email subscription form is so easy and fast. For my websites it’s all about gettin lots of subscribers and Aweber does that well.

Trick me once shame on you, trick me twice shame on me. If it happens again I’ll have to remind you of this
. I would say that SAAS email marketing solutions are still more secure than using email marketing software inhouse and Aweber is a good service for small volume email marketers and bloggers.
