SendIgence 1.2

SendIgence is a software for efficient management of periodic or bulk e-mail sending. It is simple to use and it can be run either interactively or by using configuration files in XML format. Configuration files are usually prepared in interactive SendIgence session or edited manually (an XML editor is recommended).

The software incorporates an easy-to-use but powerful set of utilities for sending large amount of e-mails, dividing recipients to smaller groups, timing the process of sending e-mails, extracting addresses from files, etc.

Features:

Use of different command line e-mail clients (although sendEmail is recommended).
Sending mails to large number of addresses.
Dividing the whole set of addresses to smaller subgroups.
Defining pause between sending the mail to subgroups.
Storing sessions to an XML file.
Checking the e-mail before sending to final recipients.
Extracting addresses from files.
Extracting addresses from multiple files (ability to browse directories recursively).
Eliminating repeating addresses.
Defining exclusion lists.
Distributing internet traffic more evenly by sending e-mails over larger periods of time.
Choosing the number of recipients and pause between messages randomly (with specified average and maximal deviation).

The program is run from a terminal window and it is simple to use. Although it is not stand-alone and needs another e-mail client, this is not a major obstacle. The free command line e-mail client sendEmail is included in the programs distribution packages. This e-mail client is used by default, however the program can be configured to utilize other e-mail clients that can be run form command-line.
