Queuing Enhancements

• Enterprise EMail Manager contains in addition, priority based EMail Queues. All other versions come with standard First In-First Out queues. What are priority queues? If you have a EMail job running on your portal that has to go out NOW, but there are 3 Email jobs scheduled ahead of it—you can set the priority higher of the one you need out fast, so that it bumps the other emails down in the list. This can be done at Email setup, or dynamically.
• Queue Algorithms are now providers as well allowing for customized development of queuing / scheduling within EMail Manager.
• Improved multiprocessor and task pipelining through the queues, using a command message queue and shared static storage across all threads with appropriate reader/writer locks to handle multi-processor contention.
• WebServices now handle the queue command and control for webfarms and multiple IIS instanced DNN installations.

Mail Delivery Enhancements

• Email Manager 2.5 Enterprise comes standard with CHILKAT Email Transport. This provides rich functionality for emails including multi-part, bounce handling, and speed increases over System.Web.Mail.
• Email Manager 2.5/2.6 now offer ASPEMail Mail Transport. This mail transport works in conjunction with your ISP's ASPEmail Server.
• Enterprise Mail Transports will now dispatch SMS Messages.
• Mail transports (excluding CDONTS) will now support multi-part E-Mails.
• ChilKat Mail Transport now fully supports MHTML Emails (multi-part MIME encoded emails) from either the HTML content, or a webpage URL.

Provider Enhancements

(NOTE: Email Manager 2.0 Providers will NOT work under EMail Manager 2.5)

• Provider Capabilities allow communication and negotiation between the various providers to insure appropriate provider operation.
• Streamlined interface and class library support for third party providers.

Bounce Management

• Customized and pre-populated Bounce filters.
• Bounce E-Mail mailbox scanned and automatically updates Mailing List statistics.
• Multiple bounce email delivery techniques.
• Ability to view / reject / delete delivered bounced emails.

Distributed E-Mail Blacklist

• Email Manager Enterprise Edition can act as a centralized depository of blacklisted emails.
• Suite or other Enterprise edition Email Manager servers can augment this blacklist.

Improved Mailing List Capabilities

• New Mailing List Manager provides your users with a “one-click” subscribe/opt-out/opt-in user interface.
• Mailing Lists now supports the choosing of SMS, Text or HTML based messages.
• Administrators can now add/delete/modify Mailing List entries - if the ISP (Host Admin) has allowed the feature.
• Mailing List is now exposed to external sites via WebServices (Enterprise Edition only).

User Interface Enhancements

The most dramatic changes are the user interface. Entirely re-done—taking all the feedback that our gracious clients have passed on to us, and after seeing some of the common issues and mistakes that users make. Easier, more user friendly and quicker to navigate to your Email Data, Content and Creation!

Similar to DotNetNuke 2.0's DAL layer, Advanced Email and News Manager takes it to new heights for usage.

All core functions of the application are based upon providers, so that if you wish to extend the functionality of the software, you can do so without touching the source code.

License owners of Advanced Email and News Manager Enterprise Edition receive all the source code for our current providers to assist with the development of provider addons.

The types of providers you can add are:

• List Provider - provide a list of emails for the software to queue.

• Render Provider - provide a different approach to how the software takes user data and content data and merges to the two together for the resultant email to the user.

• Content Provider - provide different sources of information, either online, realtime, RSS / XML or any source that can be captured.

• Scheduler Provider - provide the software with the knowledge of WHEN to send your emails to your users.

• Mail Transport Provider - provides the ability to send your emails via another SMTP package.  We support both CDOSYS and CDONTS.

• Report Provider - Expand the report generating capabilities with your own customized reports.

• Queue Provider - Change the way Email Manager queues emails.

Advanced Email and News Manager provides you with the capability of managing your mailing lists. Whether you have 100 subscribers, or 500,000 subscribers. We can help you. With automatic hard error and soft error detection built into the software, you can automatically detect and remove bad email addresses from your mailing lists.

Import your mailing lists that you already have from other sources directly into mailing list of your choice.

Provide legal and best practice support for your mailing lists by using Double Opted In mailing list authentication.

We want you to know that we have developed the most robust email management software in the DotNetNuke area. No other product comes close to matching our level of redundancy, verification, and the ability to restart from where we left off in the case of system failure.

We don't just use a background thread, and say “we provide multi-threaded” email support. We provide the ability to monitor the threads, automatically pulse the the server with keepalives to assist in the server staying up and operational, we have two separate thread groups, one for managing the queue process, and the other thread group for sending the emails. The threads are automatically started on your first request to the webserver, and are automatically restartable at anytime.

Then Advanced E-Mail and News Manager is uniquely tailored for you! Our threads are per SERVER.

Meaning your ISP won't be informing you that you are taking up too much CPU by having your child portals or other domain portals pound away on multiple worker threads.

Our software uniquely allows you, the Host or ISP of many portals to tailor the compliance of the software across all portals to best practice standards conformance.

Then look no further - Advanced Email and News Manager is the option for you! Allowing you to use either CDONTS or CDOSYS as your mail transport, plus providing the capability of adding your own Mail Transport Provider.
