How can I insert in the email message a link to unsubscribe from the mailing list?

unsubscribe link inside email body

SendBlaster can manage its distribution lists by downloading email messages from a dedicated e-mail address, different for each list. Using tags it is simple to insert an unsubscribe link into the HTML code :

<a href=”mailto:#managingemail#
?Subject=Unsubscribe”>Unsubscribe</a>

  • Each email with subject “Unsunscribe” received by the Mailing list managing email address will be automatically removed from mailing list.

The HTML code must be inserted in the HTML section of the message by clicking on “Show code” button; it can also be inserted as a link using the “Link” button in the message format bar (in which case the text mailto:#managingemail#?Subject=Unsubscribe will need to be inserted in the link window and, once the link is created, the displayed text can be modified to something like “Unsubscribe” or a similar text).

  • With current SPAM-CAN laws, we need to have an unsubscribe link for our e-mailings. This little tutorial will be useful to understand how to update the subscription status of our contact lists using unsubscription links inside email body. The automated process of unsubscription link insertion is possible with SendBlaster Bulk Email Software.

Hello, I have a custmer database of over 5000 custmers will I ba able to send email in 1 go?

Yes, our bulk email software is tested with large email lists (up to 100.000 email addresses databases)

Will the software automatically remove any duplicate e-mail addresses?

Yes, SendBlaster never sends twice to the same email address (unless you put that email address in more distribution lists)

Can I send e-mails part of a list or only a full list?

Yes, you can build, manage and send multiple lists

The speed of sending emails is very important to me, I need a software that can email 1000 email, in 30 minutes or less. While trying your program (that i love, did i mention that i love it ?) I estimated teh speed of sending at the begining at 480 emails per hour (8 emails per minute), which is not what im looking for, but close enough. Then, stranly, later the speed dropped in a very obvious way to arond 150 emails per hour (2-3 emails per minute).

I have 2 questions: 1. how can i restore the original speed, and 2. is tehre a way to make the sending proccess faster? wether by the program options and settings, the smtp server, or the ISP provider? Anything that will allow me to send 1000 emails in less than 30 minutes?

Success and speed in send depends to you SMTP service, so if we suppose you have a good internet connection (DSL) a good SMTP server (provided from your ISP) and emails size is around 10 kb, you may use SendBlaster bulk emai software to send around 7.000/10.000 email per hour.

My internet connection speed is 512 KB download / 128 upload , I use the SMTP server of my ISP, and the avg size of each email is 100 kb , how many emails/hour your bulk email program is supposed to send under these conditions?

We strongly suggest you to avoid emails with 100kb, since it is quite heavy, even spam filters may be allerted. Usually customers insert the image file in a web server with a link inside the email message in order to keep message tiny. Moreover speed of send depends in you ISP, you may try sending 100 of those email and check speed.

Since Sendblaster Bulk Email Software sends every email separately, we guess you may send around 500 emails per hour with size 100 kb.

Obvoiusly 1.000 email x 100kb each one means a total of 100 MB of data to send, that means that your ISP may block you in sending such ammount of data.

How do I insert a mailing list subscription email form in my website?

You’ll find detailed form mail script free examples here; they come in different flavours: PHP, ASP, single opt-in. double opt-in, complete form or e-mail only trasmission, etc.
They are designed so that integration in your website and links to your newsletter database is easy: add your mailing list management email address, adapt graphic layout with any editor (or insert main forms inside existing pages), upload them to your web server, and you’re done.

How do I backup my mailing list data?

SendBlaster Mailing Software keeps Mailing List Addresses data in two subfolders:

(program folder)/data
(program folder)/history

where (program folder) means the directory where you installed the program. A typical path is:

C:/Program Files/SendBlaster/data
C:/Program Files/SendBlaster/history

Therefore, if you want to backup your data, you simply have to backup these two subfolders.

If you are using Windows Vista and have User Account Control (UAC) on, Vista uses virtualization; files are stored in a different path:

(user’s folder)/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/SendBlaster/data
(user’s folder)/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/SendBlaster/history

where (user’s folder) means the directory where user data are stored. An example path for user named “John” is:

C:/Users/John/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/SendBlaster/data
C:/Users/John/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/SendBlaster/history

Therefore, these are the folder you have to backup if you’re using Vista and have UAC on. If you turned UAC off, data are stored in the usual (program folder)data and (program folder)history folders, as for any previous Windows version.
