SmartSerialMail

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on February 26, 2010

Sending regular, serial e-mail to multiple recipients can be a daunting task, even for those who can make Outlook do everything but sit up and beg. Whether you use Microsoft's well-known client or another e-mail program, JAM Software's SmartSerialMail can take the sting out of serial mailings. You can configure it to send messages via multiple Internet connections simultaneously. It supports HTML as well as plain text messages, and you can set it to display only the individual recipient's name, like typical e-mail software. Where it really shines is in helping you configure all the complex settings and exceptions that guarantee that only those recipients you choose get only those messages you want them to and no others.

SmartSerialMail has an attractive, efficient interface resembling a simplified e-mail client; just File and Help menus, navigation buttons, and controls to collect bounces, subscriptions, and unsubscriptions in Microsoft Outlook and other e-mail clients. Most of the action takes place in the main window, which displays the program's six basic steps as controlled by left-hand navigation buttons. SmartSerialMail breaks the complex process of configuring multiple mailings into easy, wizard-like steps: Sender, Recipients, Content, Preview, Send Mail, and Returns. An additional button accesses e-mail templates that simplify customizing and composing messages for a variety of uses and recipients.

The most recent update of the fully functional SmartSerialMail works in Windows 7 and is now free to try for 30 days instead of 21. It costs $57.95 for a single-user license; multiuser licenses are also available.

Publisher's Description

From JAM Software:

SmartSerialMail allows you to send mails automatically to a large number of recipients. Mails can be sent using multiple connections simultaneously, which allows an optimal usage of your internet connection. Each mail is sent individually to its recipient, so that only one name appears in the To: section of the mail header. Import your recipients lists from Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel or ASCII Files. SmartSerialMail can directly connect to almost all kinds of databases. SmartSerialMail supports plain text and html email. All mail and recipient groups can be saved in the SmartSerialMail database, which allows easy and effective working with a large number of recipients. The new user interface is easy to use and assists you in the necessary steps in sending serial mails.

What's new in this version: Version 6.0 improved faster loading of recipient lists saves time while working with very large lists.

    "Functional sftwr that's easy to install & easier to use"

    Version: SmartSerialMail 4.6.1

    Pros

    Excellent import of email addresses from a variety of sources- excel, word, and address books. Its timed output overcomes emal reciever blocks by sending a specified number of emails within a defined time span. Handles undelivered and unscubscribed

    Cons

    Weak template section.

    Summary

    This software did exactly what I needed to avoid potential email restrictions (non-reception and blacklistings) at a number of reciever sites that do not let you send more than a few emails to their domain at a time.

    It has a great importing capability which worked flawlessly and also caught my duplicates and mis-formed addresses. Once set-up, which only took a minute or two, it was quite intuitive to use and I was sending emails to my specific lists quickly and accurately. The preview and advanced send function that allowed me to email a sample to a specified address was a nice touch enableing better quality control.
