Any free mass mail plugins without selling out subscribers?

  • Is there any free plug-in that handles the 50 user limit of 1and1 and other cheap hosting packages without taking in trade your email-to user base list to sell to someone or market to?

    I am retired and run a simple travel blog with no ads. I don’t want to make money or sell out the people who trust and subscribe to me, just want to allow them to optionally receive an email on new posts when they click on a subscribe button and for them to feel confiden that their email address is safe with me.

    Thanks!

    You can enable that service, for free, via the Jetpack plugin. It offers a subscription widget that uses wordpress.com’s infrastructure to mail out notices of new posts.

    Isn’t the Jetpack plugin just another mystery entity that you have no guarantee of what is happening to your subscriber’s email addresses? I tried to track Jetpack down a few years ago and abandoned them because I got no guarantee the email addresses were not being “farmed out”. If I am recalling correctly, the email addresses are kept within their architecture rather than your own database.

    Yes, I am still on-base with what Jetpack uses from your subscribers. This is directly off their privacy page:

    QUOTE: Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow or subscribe to a Site using Jetpack or WordPress.com, we collect the sign-up information requested by the Site, which typically includes an email address.

    So Jetpack wouldn’t be what I am looking for.
