Subject: email distribution management software


The Admissions Department for the College has decided that they have to do
something to get a better handle on mass email distributions. About 5 or 6
times per year they will send an e-mail to 40,000 plus recipients trying to
recruit the new Freshman class. In the past they have managed their
distribution lists in a home grown Access database and then sent the
mailings in small pieces because we used to be limited hardware-wise on the
Exchange Server and our Internet pipe wasnt all that big. Those 2 issues are
no longer a problem. Doing it this way gives them no real feedback on how
many bad addresses there were, if anyone read the mailing, etc. They have
talked with several companies that offer these as services but they are
looking at $7,000 and up every time they put out a mailing. Im thinking we
can find software that does these things for less than $42,000 per year?
Does anyone know of apps that do these things that will work in an Exchange
2000 environment?
Thanks!

RE: email distribution management software

2003-09-30 Thread Fyodorov, Andrey
I just used the demo version of Arclab MailList Controller. It is pretty
nice. Processes NDRs pretty nicely and can be customized to recognize
various NDR phrases.

Allows import from CSV files and exports to Access DB.

I actually used it to clean up our AD Contacts. Put them all in one
list, send them a message, the once that bounced all got processed
nicely (they can be immediately deleted from the list, or just marked as
bad so one could double-check them first)

Sincerely,

Andrey Fyodorov
