Delivery Agent

Delivery Agent is a send-only e-mail program, with mail merge functions, for use by web site managers, network administrators, customer relations and support personnel, etc. The program is used to deliver frequently used, customer-requested e-mail messages (& MIME attachments) such as newsletters, product delivery & announcements, support notes, etc. Messages can be sent to one or more users by selecting a message from a list and entering the users` address. The program can read a text file containing a list of addresses for bulk delivery. Recipients of bulk deliveries are shielded from seeing the other recipients in the list. The program checks a POP e-mail account prior to sending message via SMTP - useful for servers that `validate` the users current IP address prior to mail relays. Version 3.0 adds MAPI support. When activated, the program will route outgoing messages to your primary MAPI-aware e-mail program. Mail merge field name definitions, variable names, and data are stored in a single file containing the data and e-mail addresses. Variable names can be anything you like (except for the name of the e-mail address field). Mail Merge `Constants` can also be defined. The program has a customizable header function that can be used to send Web Mail` or `HTML mail`. The "To: " field can also be customized for bulk, non- mail merge deliveries. Port settings to use and maximum number of recipients per block can be configured manually. Settings and messages can be created via the program GUI or, once you are familiar with the program, via an external text editor. A full complement of command line switches allows the program to be incorporated into your .bat routines. A log file of deliveries can be enabled (or not).
