They've either tasted success, or they've not near tasted success and 
now they feel the need to make up for it!  :O   Either way, I agree with 
you - time to move on.

But I wonder if you have asked if they have a version set up with 
ioncube instead of Zend?

I have no experience with this myself, but have heard from a few of my 
customers that PHPlist works reasonably well.

You might also want to evaluate if Mailman might be appropriate for this 
application.  Especially since now that you went with spiffy new 5108R 
boxes Mailman is already loaded and ready to go for you.  ;)
