- Send Thousands of Messages in Seconds
Send a test message to yourself and up to four others to review exactly how the message will appear. You may easily change the subject line and add
comments to the top so that the test recipients will know it is a test for
them to review.Target your audience by selecting the group or groups of contacts you would like to send to.
- Automatic Bounce Handling. Don't lose time dealing with email responses from messages that bounce back due to an invalid email address, full mailbox, or other reason. These bounces are automatically recorded in your reports so that you are able to remove or correct bad email addresses without being flooded with any error message emails.
- Automatic Unsubscribe Handling. Every message you send will be embedded
with a link that the recipients can click to instantly unsubscribe themselves. This means you will not have to contend with requests to
"remove me from your list" and then manually find the address and remove them.
Manage subscriptions
- Amazing Mass Email can automatically manage subscriptions (and unsubscriptions) to distribution lists.
Each list can be associated with an e-mail address: when a message with “Subscribe” in the subject line is sent to this e-mail address the sender gets added to the list. If the subject is “Unsubscribe” instead, the sender gets deleted (if case he/she was previously subscribed).
- Amazing Mass Email downloads new messages from the POP3 account, verifies the subject and updates the related distribution list.
Warning: The address chosen for managing subscriptions must allow POP3 messages downloading (the same protocol used by standard e-mail clients)
.
- It’s not possible to use addresses that can be only managed via web (for instance the Hotmail services).
Normally each list will be assigned a dedicated e-mail address.
- However, it is possible to assign the same e-mail address to more than one list. In this case, when a list is updated, all other lists that use the same Subscribe/Unsubscribe address will also be updated. For instance, if you create 2 lists named “List 1″ and “List 2″ and they are both linked to the same managing e-mail address, by downloading the messages to update “List 1″, “List 2″ would also get updated.
Each list’s managing address is set by typing the correct parameters to access the POP3 account, just like in an e-mail client software: besides the address (E-mail) you need to specify the receiving server (POP3 Server), which, if needed, may include port number in the “server:port” format, the Username and the Password.
- The SSL checkbox enables SSL communication, which may be needed by some pop3 servers (a typical example is Gmail’s server). In the Timeout field you can type the number of seconds of inactivity after which the connection will be closed. To verify the parameters just click on Test connection button (no message will be downloaded).
- By checking Keep a copy of the messages on the server, Amazing Mass Email will download new messages without deleting them from the server. The messages will then be available for future uses. New messages will be ignored.
- It is advisable to dedicate a different subscribe/unsubscribe e-mail address for each distribution list, that is, an address that is not used for any standard e-mail sending and receiving.
- This will minimize the risk of receiving spam (that will be ignored) and will make it easy to manage the lists. In an environment of this kind it won’t be necessary to enable the Keep a copy of the messages on the server option since the mails won’t have to be read by other software’s. This way, message downloading will be faster and, most of all, the account space will be preserved. Some services have a limit on the total amount of space that the messages can occupy, and if the given space gets filled, no more messages are delivered.
- It is also possible, but not advisable, to use a “standard” address, also used on another e-mail client to send and receive messages. This way, it is absolutely necessary to enable the Keep a copy of the messages on the server option (or else, once the messages are downloaded they get removed from server). And even more important is that even the standard e-mail client is set accordingly, in order to allow Amazing Mass Email to read the messages (in Outlook Express after selecting an account choose Properties / Advanced settings / Keep a copy of the messages on the server).
- Warning: if the download of new messages appears to be rather slow, this might indicate that on the e-mail server many messages have piled up: disable the Keep a copy of the messages on the server option and click on Download (or execute downloading on your standard e-mail client). The messages, once downloaded, will be removed form the server and the following downloads will be faster.
How does “Update all fields” work While “normal” processing makes Amazing Mass Email download and process message subjects only, Update all fields option will let Amazing Mass Email download and process whole message bodies, search for lines in the fieldname: value format inside message body, and update fields accordingly.
- Suppose you have two fields named “Surname” and “City”; if a message is received from “aaa@aaa.com” with “Subscribe” as subject and the following body (please note that each line contains a different field):Surname: Smith City: New York
a new contact “aaa@aaa.com” is added to the list, having “Smith” as “Surname” and “New York” as “City”.
Some other syntax formats, using the same Tags as in message composing, are allowed too: #tag#: value and #fieldnumber#: value as in the following examples:
#surname#: Smith #city#: New York and #2#: Smith#3# : New York
