Built to facilitate communication and marketing for your organization, integrate this open-source PHP project software into your web site to manage and send email to thousands of subscribers. Summary We believe in this mail list software so strongly that we use it for our own newsletter - The Worthwhile Wire. Contact The Worthwhile Company to get your own mail list! Features One-way announcement system | Post to the mailing list via a web page.
SPAM | Software cannot be used for sending unwanted bulk email.
Double opt-in subscription system | Subscribers enter their details in a web based subscription page, then receive an email to confirm their subscription.
Large lists | Handles large amounts of email addresses. If sending fails halfway, the next precess continues where it left off without duplicating emails.
Multiple list friendly | Subscribers receive only one copy of multiple list emails no matter how many lists they are a member of.
Open Tracking | See roughly how many users opened your email.
Click Tracking | Enable tracking clicks of all URLs in the emails you send. This can be viewed by message, URL or user.
Send a Web page | Tell the software the URL of a Web page you want to send -- it will fetch it and send it out. Give the URL user specific parameters that will fetch a different URL per subscriber.
Attributes | Specify subscriber sign-up information such as geographic location. Use known attributes to select the subscribers who need to receive your message.
Multiple subscribe pages | Design your own subscribe pages. You can have different pages allowing users to sign up to a selection of your lists and only enter a selection of your pre-defined attributes.
Personalization | Use known attributes about your subscribers to make every email personal (Example: Dear Mr. Jones,).
HTML emails | Send HTML emails to subscribers who indicate that is their preference. If preference is unknown the software has a bias to send text emails.
Multiple list managers | Assign lists to multiple list managers, who can control their own pool of subscribers and lists. Super user can "prepare" messages that can be chosen by list managers to send to any of the lists they control.
Easy import and export | Use TAB delimited files to import your existing list of subscribers, or to export subscribers on the list system for use in your in-house database.
Update personal details | Subscribers receive a personalized URL to update their preferences and keep your database up-to-date. Unlike most other mailing list managers, subscribers can change their email address when updating their personal details.
Attachments | Add attachments to your HTML or text message. Subscribers receiving text see a URL that tells where to download the attachment from your web site.
Batch Processing | To facilitate shared hosting environments, specify the maximum number of emails to send in a specific time period. This can also be overridden by ISPs who can set these values server wide to apply to any list installation on that machine.
ISP friendly | Additional option for ISPs to suspend sending during busy times in the day.
Throttling | Make sure the load on your server does not become too excessive.
Domain Throttling | Stops too many emails to one domain within a certain time frame.
Embargoed sending | Set a future date and time to send a message.
Repetition | Repeat a mesage automatically. This is useful when the message has "file system attachments", because they are refreshed at time of sending.
User management | Built-in tools handle large databases of subscribers for tasks like reminding subscribers to confirm their subscription. Also allows invalid emails to be found automatically and fixed whenever needed.
Manual Text entry | Manually turn your content entered HTML into plain text for subscribers who choose this option.
Bounce handling | Bounces can be processed and subscribers will be automatically unsubscribed. This can be corrected by the administrator in case the unsubscription was incorrect.
Advanced Bounce handling | Specify regular expressions that match a bounce and identify actions for them. Teach your list to distinguish between hard and soft bounces.
Automated PDF creation | Messages can be automatically converted to PDF and attached to the email. This ensures subscribers can read your message regardless of their mail reader.
RSS feeds | Set up your list to read a range of RSS sources and send the contents on a regular basis to subscribers. For more information about RSS click here.
