Client Mailer comes with fully functional example programs (with source code) that
An example of a letter (a text or HTML file on your computer) that a dentist might send to his customers is:
|
To: %EmailAddress% Subject: Your Dental Appointment at %AppointmentTime% Dear %FullName%, Your dental appointment is tomorrow at %AppointmentTime%. To confirm your appointment, please reply to this email with "CONFIRM %EmailAddress%" as the subject.
Sincerely, |
|---|
The recipient list (a text file on your computer) begins with the substitution names on the first line and continues with the list of recipients. An example of such a list (of three recipients) is:
|
EmailAddress, AppointmentTime, FullName m.marshall0610@yahoo.com, 10:00 am, Mike Marshall p.marshall0610@yahoo.com, Noon, Paula Marshall l.marshall0610@yahoo.com, 2:30 pm, Lacy Marshall |
|---|
The first letter (of three) emailed would then be addressed to
m.marshall0610@yahoo.com
with subject
Subject: Your Dental Appointment at 10:00 am
and body
|
Dear Mike Marshall, Your dental appointment is tomorrow at 10:00 am. To confirm your appointment, please reply to this email with "CONFIRM m.marshall0610@yahoo.com" as the subject.
Sincerely, |

There is no limit on the number of times that Client Mailer programs can be run, and thus there is no limit on the total number of emails that can be sent.
Channels: The number of simultaneous server connections used to send email. Using multiple connections significantly speeds up the sending process.
Recipients: The number of recipients allowed in the recipient list. There is no limit in the Corporate version.
Skip Files: The number of unique skip files. These are recipients to whom email should not be sent, even if they are in the recipients list file. Typical skip files would be the list of recipients who had previously asked that email not be sent to them, or the list of recipients whose email was previously returned as undeliverable.
Reply Strings: The number of custom reply strings processed when checking replies. When sending email, one can include a statement such as: If you prefer that email notices not be sent, reply to this email with subject "REMOVE %EmailAddress%". If the recipient replies with REMOVE m.marshall0610@yahoo.com as the subject, the email address m.marshall0610@yahoo.com is added to the "remove" file which can then be used as a "skip" file the next time email is sent.
Support: Provided for the duration of Personal and Professional licenses. There is no support for the FREE version.
License: Client Mailer is licensed for sending email to the license purchaser's clients & customers only.
The Client Mailer is not a "bulk-mailer", and it is not for sending spam! The Client Mailer does not send anonymous email!
