Ask HN: What's the best email capture form to use?

Quick question to the HN crowd: What's the best email capture form to use?

I'm just putting up a splash screen that shows what's to come of the company and the visitor can input their email to receive a beta invite down the road.

I'd like for it to just be an email submit form that uses an email auto-responder (one I can customize) and manages the list of people that sign up. Possibility of managing future email contact with users would be a plus.

Does not need to be a free service. I've searched for the service and haven't came across any customizable ones yet that I can use with my own design. Any recommendations?

Mailchimp works pretty good. You can customize the front end of your landing page and use Mailchimp's backend to capture the email and manage the list. Here's my example: http://www.sharescribe.co/
