Wow....I haven't been in these forums for a while...I almost forgot what they look like :-)

We've opened up our beta program for our E-Mail Campaign Manager Module.
Registered users can send us an email to get into the beta program.

We're actually at the same time beta testing our Portal Module Developer's toolkit DAL, so we're covering off more than one with this release.

E-Mail Campaign Manager Features:

1. Opt-Out and BlackList E-Mail Support.
2. Supports E-Mail Lists through any combination of:
- portal roles
- direct email data entry (import a list of emails)
- A Portal list of registered users - or specific portal role
- All portal administrators (if logged in as host admin)
- All portal users (across parent and child portals if logged in as host)
3. Ability to create a customized footer for emails.
4. Keyword embedding for user name (first and last), portal, and host data to allow for efficient mail merge.
5. E-Mail sending will still function correctly after a server reboot - all emails queued to be sent will be re-queued and sent after the system comes back online.
6. Allows you to view historical e-mail campaigns including statistics on users that have received and viewed the email.
7. Multiple techniques to discover if a user has read the email.
8. Multi-Threaded email message send

Beta program information is contained here, and we hope to see you soon!

Thanks for the plug Josh, and for the assistance with getting it to work under asp.net 1.0

We are now into the third beta release, and is nearing feature complete - it's turning into quite the package, the boss in me has to tell the developer in me to stop adding things to it soon ;)

The current beta of E-Mail Campaign Manager 1.0.0.c supports:

- Full Optin verification and audit with customized verification, and welcome email.
- E-Mail Optin modules for simple mailing list addon's, guestbook and feedback forms.
- Optout and email blacklist control
- Historical tracking of prior campaigns, including who has read / been sent the campaign email.
- User selection by portal (if host), role, bulk entry of email addresses, optin mailing list - and every and any combination of the above (automatic filtering of duplicate email addresses)
- Keyword replacement for user's name, email address, city, country, plus portal's title.
- definable use of desktopdefault.aspx for redirection for those admins that have changed the name of desktopdefault.aspx
- ability to choose from custom / standard email footers for common disclaimers and optout information to save retyping.
- ability to resend a campaign and/or modify and resend a campaign to potentially different users.
- read verification via multiple schemes including embeddable iframe and image redirection and the ability to have the email dynamically rendered by the server from a link back.
- full multithreaded batch email send, plus restartable email queues - will easily handle a complete server shutdown and restart. We have successfully tested this at a rate of 800 sent emails per minute.
