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 (terminal window) 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, extracting addresses from files, timing the process of sending e-mails, dividing recipients to smaller groups, etc.
SendIgence is a wrapper for programs for sending e-mails that are called from commandline and their operation is controlled through input command-line arguments. A sample regarding its functionality is included in the package, called sendEmail.
It is simple to use and it can be run either interactively or by using an
instruction file in XML format. Instruction files can be created in interactive SendIgence session or edited manually (an XML editor is recommended).

- Choosing the number of recipients and pause between messages randomly (with specified average and maximal deviation).

Enhancements:
- Address center is added for management of address books.
- Import of addresses from LDIF or CSV formats and from SendIgence XML format.
- Reference to groups of addresses by stating containing files.
- Full integration of exclude list (e.g. to enable unsubscribe service).
