</p><p>Bulk email software usually refers to standalone software, while there are bulk email-sending web-based services.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types_of_software">Types of software</h2></div>

<p>Most bulk email software programs are hosted by third-party companies that sell access to their system.<sup id="cite_ref-ventureharbour_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ventureharbour-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Customers pay per send or at a fixed monthly rate to have their own user account from which they can manage their contacts and send out email campaigns. Generally the advantage of this type of program is the reliability of the third party vendor and their application.

Some bulk email software programs are <a href="Self-hosting_(web_services)" title="Self-hosting (web services)">self-hosted</a>. The customer buys a license or develops his own program and then hosts the program. Generally the advantage of this type of program is the lack of ongoing monthly fees for the owner/developer of the program. The disadvantage of using this option is that the delivery rate is reduced as users frequently use one server to send bulk emails. There are various settings to tweak to avoid a server being labelled as <a href="Spamming" title="Spamming">spam</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>These bulk email service providers help marketers conduct email marketing. These could be used for <a href="Cold_email" title="Cold email">cold emailing</a> or promotional email marketing.
