Features:
Using the Netmailer Bulk E-mail feature, you can do the following
tasks:
Use a table or set as the data source
for your mailing.
Send the same message to each e-mail
address on your list, or customized messages using data from a table or
set.
Specify a filter expression for sending
e-mail to a subset of your list.
Skip e-mail addresses in specified
Exclude lists.
Check for duplicate e-mail addresses and
send e-mail to unique addresses only.
Send e-mail messages in HTML format,
plain text, both, or HTML conditionally.
Include multiple attachments with each
e-mail message; you can send the same attachment, or custom attachments
with each e-mail message.
Specify custom e-mail headers for each
mailing.
Create a log file containing information
on whether messages were sent successfully.
Update a field in the source table or
set that indicates whether an e-mail was sent successfully.
Send messages in batches, when sending
the same message to each recipient, to speed up the mailing process.
Stop and resume a mailing; for example,
if you are sending e-mail to a very large number of recipients, you can
stop the job before its completion, and resume the mailing from the
stopping point.
Send messages containing conditional
text; for example, a customer meeting one set of conditions would get one
message, while another customer might get a different message.
Send messages containing pre-defined
boilerplate text.
Netmailer Professional helps you to maintain
your e-mail and Remove lists, and automatically or interactively validate
e-mail addresses.
With Netmailer Professional you can scan e-mail
messages at specified e-mail addresses that you designate. For example, you
might instruct your mailing recipients to change their subscription status
by doing one of the following tasks:
Send an e-mail message to
[email protected]
Send an e-mail message to [email protected], with
"Remove" in the subject
line
Send a message to [email protected], with
"Subscribe" in the subject line
Using Netmailer Professional, you can do the following tasks:
Check an e-mailbox for Subscribe and Remove requests and add them to a
list.
Check an e-mailbox for undeliverable e-mail and add them to a list of
bounced addresses.
Add the messages at a specified e-mail address to a Subscribe or Remove
list, or add only messages with specified keywords in the subject line.
Automatically or interactively validate e-mail addresses.
Save invalid e-mail addresses in a table for review.

ReportMailer vs. Netmailer:
Confused by the difference between Netmailer and Reportmailer?
Reportmailer works with your existing Alpha Five layouts (e.g. reports,
letters, forms, browses etc.) and sends each recipient on your list an
e-mail with an attached copy (in PDF form) of your Alpha Five report.
Netmailer, on the other hand, sends each recipient an e-mail with the
message in the e-mail body (not as an attachment in PDF form).
System
Requirements:
Alpha Five V5 and Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP Home, or XP Professional.
Netmailer is not licensed for use with the Alpha Five Runtime.
