Re:Ask YC: What do you use for outbound email sending? on Thursday May 29, 2008 @10:31AM (#203305)

Campaignmonitor seems to be "permission based", so you cannot send out Invites since invitees gave no permission. A current user deciding to invite another doesn't cut it as "permission".

If permission based is OK for your needs, AWeber is top of the line (www.aweber.com)

With online email service invite systems that many web apps use these days, do you send the invites through the user's account within that service or is it more proper to harvest the contact addresses and send from the new (your) web apps email domain?If the latter how do you avoid spam filters?

I heard it at Startup School '06 - I think at the mixer the night before. I'm curious if any have the flexibility in financing the work that some of the law firms will extend. Thought one of the big four might be in that niche.

Ask YC: Who Are the Startup Friendly Accounting Firms?

I've heard PG say one key element of Viaweb getting acquired was that they had a top brand accounting firm which gave great credibility to their books. He felt it contributed a lot to sealing the deal with Yahoo.Does anyone know who Viaweb used or who is considered the Wilson Sonsini of startup accounting?
