What's new in sendBlaster 2
- Improved and redesigned user interface
SendBlaster is even
easier to use than before. Users can choose between the classic left panel,
redesigned to be visually more appealing and now supporting large or small
icons, and a new toolbar which saves horizontal space on the screen. All panels
are now scrollable with the mouse wheel; list selection can be synchronized
across all the panels and are alphabetically ordered; all icons have been
redesigned; and many more small user interface improvements have been added.
- Scheduled mailings
Now users can create a mailing and let
SendBlaster 2 send it later automatically, at a given day and time. Or, users
can even "park" their mailing so that they can manually launch it
later. Now SendBlaster can run in a minimized schedule mode and start when
Windows starts.
- E-mail tracking
SendBlaster 2 has built-in support, wizards
and panels for Google Analytics, Google's campaign monitoring free service,
and for TrackReports, our advanced tracking and reporting online service.
- New, powerful data filters
A powerful filter has been added,
which lets users fine tune their mailing by selecting and enabling or disabling
records matching some conditions. It supports multiple conditions and complex
operators, so that they can visually build a powerful SQL query without writing
code. Duplicates can now be filtered out automatically, as in release 1, or
managed by the user through a new, powerful search engine.
- More options for sending out
Users can now add custom headers,
request read receipts, set a high priority for their message, define a customized
To: header supporting merge tags, enable or disable automatic filtering out
of duplicate addresses when sending out.
- More options for editing messages
Many new buttons in the
composer panel let users easily add removal links in the message, add special
links for Google Analytics and TrackReports, and add merge tags in the subject
and To: field. Now text-only (as opposed to HTML) messages can more easily
be created by just checking one box.
- Spam checking
It is now possible to perform a spam-score
check on the fly while editing a message; spam score checking is based on
popular SpamAssassin engine, one of the most common antispam filters with
e-mail servers.
- Preview with merge tags
Previewing now supports substituting
merge tags too, so that users can have a more exact idea of what will be sent.
- More speed
SendBlaster now supports up to 50 connections
- this could dramatically improve the speed of mailings when using a fast
SMTP server. Furthermore, SendBlaster now gives users the option to not interrupt
a mailing should the Internet connection temporarily stop working, which may
help with unattended mailings.
- Customizable subscription and bounce-back formats
Users
can now customize subscription and cancellation subjects and add custom bounce-back
formats for easier, automatic processing of undelivered messages.
- SMTP and POP3 profiles
Using multiple SMTP and POP3 settings
is easier than before - account info can be saved in multiple profiles, so
that all SMTP and/or POP3 settings can be changed with a couple of clicks.
This is expecially useful when sending out mailings on behalf of someone else.
- Snapshots
Save all settings for any given panel and reuse
them later with just one click - it's as easy as taking a snapshot. Snapshots
extend the concept of "profiles" to a new level - almost every group
of related settings in SendBlaster can be saved as a snapshot.
- Support for external plug-ins
Users can download free plug-ins
(small tools performing specific tasks, as importing from various e.mail clients,
etc) from our web site, and many more will be added in the future. Plugins
API is public and third party developers are encouraged to create new, useful
plugins.
- New, easier-to-edit templates
SendBlaster 2 has more than
100 new professionally designed templates, all of them using flexible layouts
which can be easily customized.
- Easier access to data files
Directly accessing database
files for backup purposes is now easier, as they are saved inside Documents
folder.
- No administration privileges required
SendBlaster 2 can
be run by standard users on any Windows system
- Ready for Windows 7
- And much more!
SendBlaster 2 has many more small improvements
which let users work better and faster.
