Required

  1. Embeddable Signup box that can be embedded in any site via HTML - so that capture of emails is very easy
  2. Allows users to unsubscribe themselves, via a link at the end of an email.
  3. Infinitely scalable, and immediately usable with 100,000 users
  4. Well documented and well-supported software, with good potential of long life (decades into the future)
  5. An OSE-specific instructional is available for managing the list
  6. Allows unlimited sending of messages
  7. Once a person signs up themselves, email spam filters do not catch emails
  8. Allows a backup dump of all subscribers
  9. Allows plain text
  10. One way list

Optional

  1. Easy interface for managing message composition, preferably with a standard template for emails
  2. Allows HTML embed in email

For Discussion

  1. Removes users automatically if mail address fails permanently (no longer a valid email)
