Send out Newsletter Messages
and Bulk Email Messages

Linked (external) Lists
List linked to an external Data Source

Our bulk mailer MailList Controller supports 2 different list types: regular (standard) lists and linked lists. A linked list does not save the members in an internal database.

for direct mailing using your mailserver

The option "Mailserver Pickup Directory" can be used if you are running a local mailserver, which has a pickup directory. In this mode, the bulk email software does not send using SMTP.

Newsletter Software runs as Service
on your PC or Server

You can decide if the mailservice should run all the time, even without an user being logged in or if it should start together with the management application, like any other program.

Single and Double Opt-in
Newsletter Subscriptions

Single Opt-in requires someone to fill out a webform or send a subscription request before he or she is added to the list. 

Double Opt-in requires two steps before the person is added to the list: the first subscribe request (e.g. filling out a webform) and a confirmation email.


HTML Form Tool 
for Newsletter Subscription and Removal

Adding a webform could not be easier with MailList Controller. The program contains a built-in tool, which will build the HTML webform and the php-script for you. The form is based on HTML and php, which ensures that the form will work on most servers without any problems.

The tool will add the form code to your webpage and will also create the required php-script. Form for Newsletter Subscription and Removal


Forward Replies
to a different Email Address

The bulk mailer software analyzes each incoming message and if the incoming message is e.g. a reply to your newsletter message, then it can forward the message to a different email address, which could be specified for each list.


Returned Mails
Customizable Returned Mail (Bounce) Detection

MailList Controller can automatically detect returned emails and remove or mark the email address which is not or not longer valid. The detection is based on keywords, which could be customized for optimization.


Mass Mailer supports Personalization
(Mail Merge)

The personalization (mail merge) feature allows to send out personalized newsletters to large groups. The bulk mailer software sends one seperate email message to each recipient, which ensures privacy of the members. This means each message has only one recipient.


Supports Filters and Subsets (Queries)
for partial Mailing and Newsletter Segmentation

This unique feature allows to split a member list in different subsets. The included easy to use query maker can be used on managed lists and experts can use a SQL-like where-clause for complex queries on linked lists.


Import HTML Files
from an external HTML Editor

You can import designed html pages and custom templates in html format into the program. The "Source Mode" feature allows you to disable the WYSIWYG editor, so that the original HTML code will not be modified by the internal editor.


No duplicate Emails
Sort out duplicate Email Addresses automatically

The internal database uses the email address as primary key, which eliminates duplicate email addresses within a single list automatically.


Supports international Charsets
for international Email and Newsletters


Subscribe Archive
Save Subscribe Email Source

The mailing list management software contains a feature called "Subscribe Message Archive", which could be used to store a copy of the incoming subscribe message in .eml (Source) format to "proof" that the member has subscribed to the list.
