Ethical Newsletter Options

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Earlier this year I managed to finally move my email subscribers away from Mailchimp to a self-hosted solution.

Having moved a lot of things away from big tech in recent years I’ve had moving the newsletters nagging on me for some while.

I have two email lists. One is my generic list (to which I very rarely send anything out) and the other is the 26 step challenge where subscribers can sign up to receive one of my steps to a better world every fortnight for a year.

With the way this is set up I knew I’d need to find the right solution. I couldn’t just try one thing and then switch to another one if it wasn’t satisfactory, so a fair bit of research was required.

I found a number of open source alternatives to Mailchimp which looked like they could do the job for me (plus another which was suggested by one of my subscribers – Thanks Carlos!) and in the end I opted for phplist. For anybody else looking to do similar here is the shortlist I worked from:
