Main Features |
| Powerful email marketing tool |
Create all list types. ListManager
supports email marketing campaigns, newsletter/announcement
lists, and discussion lists (both moderated and unmoderated).
Mail blindingly fast. ListManager
can scale to send 500,000 unique messages and
more per hour. Front-end server clustering lets
you balance the load of processor-intensive functions
among several servers for faster, more redundant
performance.
Send anything you want. ListManager
can send HTML/AOL/MIME messages, attachments,
and international (double-byte) characters. |
| Secure |
Password-protected interface. All
security levels (list, site, and server) are
individually password protected. You can also
restrict access to a limited range of IP addresses.
Configurable logging. Maintain
complete or selective logs of different kinds
of server activity, to assist in security, archiving,
and diagnostics. |
| Easy content creation |
Pre-built
templates. ListManager
now comes with 20 pre-built HTML templates, letting
you get up and running faster. Custom
template wizard. Create and save
your own fill-in-the-blank templates, allowing
users without any HTML knowledge to create
attractive messages in your standard format.
Content converters and validators. Convert your
email content to and from text, HTML, and AOL formats. Quickly
detect broken links and remove code that could cause problems for
AOL, Hotmail, or Yahoo! users. |
| One-to-one personalization |
Customizable headers. Personalize
to, from, subject, and reply-to headers for all messages
sent through your list.
Mail merge. Merge text into
your email from ListManager's built-in database
table, or fetch data from a web server. |
| Message testing and targeting |
Convenient previews. Preview
text, HTML, and merged content before your mail goes
out. |
| Track members and delivery success |
Subscriber activity reports. View
tables and charts for subscribes, confirms, and unsubscribes.
See what domains recipients come from.
Message sending statistics. See
message deliveries, retries, and soft vs. hard
bounces as your mail is being sent.
Individual member reports. Review
current detailed information about any list member
at a glance. One click gives you both demographic
data (including member name, status, member ID,
join date, etc.), as well as mailing history
(such as recent opens). |
| User-friendly administration |
Automatic bounce and error handling. ListManager
quickly identifies invalid addresses and handles
them the way you want -- automatically.
Add list members easily. Add
members via your Web site or use our convenient
member import wizards.
Convenient web forms. Create
and access all the forms you'll need to manage
your mailing lists. Now it's even easier for
your list members to subscribe, unsubscribe,
and refer new members.
Hassle-free scheduling. Schedule
your messages in advance for one-time or repeat
distribution.
Approval wizard. Approve or
reject messages in bulk, rapidly moderate, or
reject messages with specific feedback to the
contributor. |

your messages. Members can unsubscribe by web

your list members update their preferences or
other demographic information with easy-to-use

Discussion forum/archive interface. Our
message reading interface makes it easier for
your list members to participate in group discussions,
view archived messages (text, HTML versions,
and attachments), and manage their list memberships.
Spam protection. By requiring
new members to have their first message approved,
you can keep spammers off your list. |
