I'm fact finding for a potential project and wondering whether anyone can advise on an email capture/list management tool for WP?
Are there good ones out there?
Or better off plugging in something non-WP specific?
I found G-Lock Opt-In to be very good - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/g-lock-double-opt-in-manager/
In the end I had so many sites collecting addresses that I decided to move to a central (non-wp) system. You can export your lists from G-Lock though, so it made moving over easy.
great, thanks for that. Will check it out.
Been doing Mailchimp, Aweber and some local ones. Ended up on Mailchimp.

Not that I have any actual use for it, but I'll add that about a year ago there were several positive articles/reviews/comment-streams in the legit tech sites for Mailchimp
This may be more than you need if you are not actually sending newsletters from your website but

was the best newsletter plugin I found when looking for a wp solution $54.99 for a single site license.
Optinskin and Popupdomination are pretty good for capturing emails and creating forms etc.
One downside of Mailchimp:
(from their TOS)
11 f. Prohibited Content and Industries: Affiliate marketers
Not sure what you are gonna use it for but if you are an affiliate I would stay away from MailChimp. There are also some other pretty legitimate industries that are prohibited.
I've not used this but I respect the author.
