We’ve been hard at work on MailerMate over the past few weeks, culminating in this weekend’s scheduled maintenance to make the changes live. We thought it would be good to update you on the improvements to MailerMate.
1. Better performance
We’ve moved MailerMate to a new, more powerful server system in a highly-connected data centre. You should notice faster performance of the system, especially when uploading large mailing lists.
2. Automatic failed email detection
If email addresses fail because they don’t exist, this could cause problems with the other working emails in your lists. Now, MailerMate removes failed addresses automatically, to increase the reliability of your email sends.
This prevents you wasting credits on sending emails MailerMate already knows won’t be delivered.
If an email bounces simply because a mailbox is full, or some other “soft” error, nothing is affected and the email will be tried again in your next send.
3. Better unsubscribe handling
Previously, opted-out emails were simply flagged but kept in your mailing lists. If users choose to unsubscribe, they are now moved to a separate table – allowing you at-a-glance monitoring of unsubscribes, while keeping your lists tidy.
4. Improved send rate
Due to the more powerful server, and cleaner mailing lists – MailerMate now sends emails much faster, with more successful deliveries than ever before.
5. Miscellaneous things
We put MailerMate back together and there were some bits left over, meaning that: we’ve fixed a few other minor problems too.
A new, more reliable MailerMate
We hope you’ll find the new MailerMate faster, more reliable and more effective than ever before.
We’d love to hear from you, so please do drop us an email to info[at]mailermate.co.uk if you have any questions, comments, or examples of how MailerMate has generated new business for you.
