Hi David,

I am still trying to compare OnyakTech Axon, DataSprings and your mod. Can you link to the Release Notes so I can see what has changed since the last version.

It would be great if someone could come up with a comparison grid of features!

For me Axon is winning at the moment because they expose their API and I can use the mailer/logic in my own mods (although I have not done this yet). I really battle with the Axon UI/Usability though.

Hi there Rodney,


The release notes or version history is available here for our DNN email module. Note that you can RSS link to the notes, and that we offer free upgrades to all of out modules.


We have a page that listsall the updates and releases, and you can RSS to that to keep track of all the work we are doing with our DNN Modules.
Many of our clients throw back good comments about both the ease of use and the fact that this DNN Email module just works. Take for example the link tracking, we had to support one client who could not understand how to make our module track links in email messages and to track how many times the links were clicked.


Then when we pointed out that it did this automatically (no tokens required) and that it generated it's own thumbnail of the link (for useability) and that not only did it track the times each link was clicked, but it tracked who clicked the links and allowed you to add these email addresses to a follow up campaign, they were blown away and full of parse for how comparatively easy this was.


You mention a specific API that is of values to you. We listen to the wishes of our clients and would be happy to hear how we could build an API that was useful to your needs. Please let us know your thoughts.

@Rodney,

This newletter module saved the day for me, after buying another newletter product and finding it difficult to setup and impossible to use in a multiple language situation I was please when the Bulk Emailer seemed to solve most of my problems, the only down points I found were, the localization was not complete (Something I think david has fixed now) and the fact if you run a 64bit machine, you need to change you application pool to 32bit for this to run correctly, this isn;t difficult, but means I need to run any website that uses this module in a serperate Application pool...not ideal. (maybe a 64bit verison should be introduced).  And the free upgrade policy give me hope that some developers do care what their clients think.

@David.

Great work and thanks, I'll send you the French translation file when I finish them and thanks for fixing this issue so quick.

Regards,

Dave.
