I need a script/application in which I can host on my own server so that I don't need to pay 3rd party email marketing company.
I have tested one before but the email goes to Gmail inbox.

Few things are important.

1. Perfectly work with shared hosting SMTP
2. Email should not go to spam
3. Able to create campaigns, set, time frame to send an email.
4. Email open and click, reply tracking, etc
5. Email template customization and personalization
6. Bulk import, export, filtering, sorting, statistic

Please suggest good software for this.
 
I've using for a long the Joomla plugin "Acymailing", and now has support for WordPress. Works well and simple.

Have a look at MailWizz or Acelle Mail. Acelle has a nicer UI while MailWizz has more features. Sendy is also good if you use SES.

bleumail or irespanse is good for that but you need to reporting and wurming your email for send inbox
 
Well, I can recommend software from AtomPark. It is cheaper than others and you will get all needed software - extractor, validator, sender and mailing lists builder in one pack.
 
PoweMTA with MailWizz or Mumara..., tools are not the problem. It depends on what you want to do, you need to learn how cold or bulk mailing works.

Good luck
 
ACELLE MAIL UI is good but sending speed is too too too slow approx 1 mail per sec i acheived after tuning it well>>

So mailwizz is So far better in all opensource or self hosted appliacation avaibale in market.

But issue with mailwizz is one your database is big and use as a production for long, its performance lost..

Hello there,

i am thinking to get acelle.

have you direct experience with it ?

i saw demo on their Website, looks quite good tool for SMTP and lead management for both.

want to know if there are any "to consider" points in practical use.

Thanks

It's been so long since I used it. I find it seemed like a great solution if you wanted to resell ESP services or had clients that wanted to do emailing. Mailwizz might be better if you need a more robust solution. Acelle does have a nice UI though.
 
Points 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive. You cannot blast bulk emails from a shared hosting SMTP and expect to hit the inbox. Those shared IPs are already blacklisted and have zero reputation.

i am not really looking for resell servises or build a SAAS.

actually what i am looking for in marketing tools is:

smtp based throttling settings
proper lead management possibility.

i used to use phplist, listmonk, mautic, billionmails - and some have shared throttling across added smtps (listmonk) or no simultanous campaign possibility (phplist)
and none of those has proper (crm like) lead management.

all those are for sure ok to use but adds a lot data work :)))
 
I get what you’re trying to do, but honestly the tricky part isn’t the software it’s deliverability
self-hosted tools can handle campaigns, templates, tracking, etc., but getting emails into inbox especially Gmail on shared SMTP is very hard. That usually requires proper domain setup, warm-up, and a good sending reputation.
There are self-hosted options like MailWizz or Mautic, but even with them, inboxing depends more on your setup than the tool itself.
