Can anybody recommend a simple to use rss feed to email subscription program. I have tried zookoda, feedburner and aweber - all of which have there limitiations. Zookoda came closest to a proper solution but is now unsupported and getting more buggy by the day.

All I want is a program that converts my feed into a scheduled, weekly newsletter to subscribed members.

Any ideas?

I’ve had the same issue for a client. Zookoda looked awesome, but was in the midst of becoming unsupported. I tested for two weeks, and was glad I did, because while the first week was great, the second week the emails were sporadic, and then support was non-existent.  After that, I’ve been giving FeedBlitz a try. I don’t like the interface that much, but its been okay.  I’ve been planning on using the expanded functions under FeedBurner to give that more of a go. My biggest concern is that the user doesn’t receive too many messages per day, so grouping daily changes into a single email or being able to set some count—if four new posts today, send is my primary concern.

It really is too bad about Zookoda, because their services and ease of use were pretty awesome.

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this problem.

I don’t like the feedblitz model of charging by number of emails and your right their interface is pants.

The whole Zookoda thing is bizarre. Great useability, able to set scheduled newletters by week or month. Issues with getting caught in spam filters though. But the basics were great. Now Pay Per Post are running it into the ground. Great shame.

I’m tempted to set up a provider myself - there seems virtually nothing out there offering what’s needed.
