simple advice.
if thats the road you want to try then check out a load of companies that give this service, do some research and then give it a shot. don't just take 1 email and go for it. thats impulse buying, not good.
just my thoughts

I get one direct email a week from a 'prospect' so I can manage that.

However if you are capturing and then mailing to an email list you can get an autoresponder that will do this for you. The best one is Aweber but you will need to get enough emails coming in to warrant the rental on the software.

The other problem is most of these systems have double opt in for the US market which means you lose some of the list before you even start.

Frankly for most CC it's a waste of money unless you are dead serious about putting time and money into email capture.

And don't forget ISPs will start to charge per email in the near future.
