This is a great little bit of code, but unfortunately it doesn't have captcha. I installed this and before I got to the point where I could send an email, the bots started crawling my site and using the acajoom subscription form. I started to delete 100s of users, did a little research, and found out that the developers call this a "feature." They don't like captcha and suggest some "bad behaviour plugin." I tried as they suggested, but but that didn't stop the bots. So now I'm looking for another email list manager that won't add an hour of deleting false registrations to my already busy day

I can't give it a rating because it doesn't work for me: I can't edit the descriptions and insert text in the textareas. Please fix it as soon as possible, I think it could be a great extension!

Fantastic extension. Installation was a breeze and it works really well.
Thank you!

Easy installation.
But, sending newsletter is something very strange: a lot of error messages, a lot o waiting, a lot of other thing missing.
Support contacted on their website. Never bother to answer.
I don't recommend buying it BEFORE they show up an example of detailed statistics for the newsletters you send.
Sorry guys ... still more thing to be done at the script.

That really is a nice component to work with.
Have all the functionality that is needed.

Thanks Acajoom Newsletter team :)

I have been using Acajoom News/Plus on websites of my clients for several years now and I am still happy with it (and my clients too!).
The support is great and swift. Could not find an update of Acajoom Plus for my own website and received it by email within a day!
What's left to say? I am familiar with PHPlist (not for Joomla) but Acajoom is so much easier AND more reliable.
Acajoom offers more then most of my clients can handle.

what's to say - i got the $90 version (still confused over whether that's plus or pro) as I wanted to send a newsletter to my users along the lines of:

Latest Articles
-link to article 1
-link to article 2
-link to article 3

Latest Articles
-link to article 4
-link to article 5
-link to article 6

and it was darn trivial. One token issue, which admittedly I didn't report on the forums or do much digging into, was that the list of articles that it provided wasn't complete, and it was a dump of many articles on the site with no ability to filter.

But, I didn't care as I wanted to run a SQL job anyhow with
"select section, category, id,
from jos_content
where created (within my target dates) or (modified (within my target dates) AND state=published

this component made it DAMN EASY as all you have to do is create the newsletter, embedding {contentitem:|} .

PLUS you can personalize emails by inserting in the name or any community builder tag.

There's even a track # of people who've read the HTML email. I can't currently figure out how to see what links a given person clicked on, I can't seem to find this jLinks program referred, but that's not a huge deal for my application so I haven't dug into that either.

So, if that's what you want, this is perfect!

Just uploaded the latest version of Acajoon News and it works really awesome. There were no problems with returned emails for too long or nig headers, or spam. Star using it now!

They really care for their clients, even for those who use the Acajoom News Free. Thanks a lot.

I love Acajoom Pro. It easy to setup and use and I always buy it for websites I develop. I also love and appreciate the fast and helpful support I get from their team. I would definitely recommend Acajoom.

This component does what they say it does. When I did encounter a problem the support team went out of their way to provide a solution. I tried all the other newsletter / mail management compontents and this one is by far the best. Great job guys.

a great tool for web marketing or keeping in touch with your customers, users or simply friends, with lots of useful features: extremely effective even in the free version!

I have tried several newsletter components. This one is execellent!

Easy to install and easy to use. Thanks for your great work!!!

Nice component, great set of functions (review is about free version). I would have considered the Pro version, other than the weird coding structure used. I'm not saying it is bad, but for those developers used to Joomla and standard php, this is quite a diversion when it comes to the styling.

Personally not a fan of coding that attempts to re-invent the wheel, or that uses bespoke functions that already exist in php and make the code more bloated and make modifications more difficult (maybe that was the point?).

This extension gets 5 stars if you don't care about changing the styling of it, but 3 stars and a recommendation to use a more suitable one if you do.

I have been testing several newsletter components during the past 3 months. Acajoom Pro is by far the best of all. I had some difficulties to find the correct settings for the mailer but thanks to the Acajoom support, we fixed everything. The support team is really efficient and we don't have to wait long to get the answers.
Thanks a lot , that's a great job !

After having bought the version PRO, I had some problems to activate this version, several keys communicated by Acajoom don't being good, perhaps because I'm French? ;-). But the Acajoom support was very effective and found the solution quickly.
For the moment, I'm very satisfied with this product.

Being really honest on this one.. I have to say it's an incredible work! So far (but im still quite new in joomla world) this have been the most complete and completely FREE component I have used. Very configurable. Easy and straightforward. Thanks a lot for your contribution!!

I just downloaded the latest Acajoom News free component, and used it in a Joomla 1.1.13 and in Joomla 1.5.13 sites. Installation is smooth and it worked flowlessly! Exellent tool. I was mucky as well to find a patch for using it with k2 extension by joomlaworks on the 1.5 site, and that really made my job a pleasure.
Big thanks to the developers!

I got Acajoom PRO and just love it. No problems with install, very easy and very easy to use too. But what I love even better is their support. Not that anything went wrong, I just couldn't work something out and needed help and they were so helpful and so quick in responding to my questions.

So nice to deal with people like that. Keep up the great work and thank you Lalene!
