Online Help for the BulkMailer Feedback Module

The Feedback Module is for automated handling of answer mails.

The program retrieves mails from a particular POP3 postbox and then carries out certain actions – depending on freely-defined filters:

Entering of the sender in a BulkMailer address database (subscribe)
Entering of the sender in the exclusion list (unsubscribe)
Bounce-Management
Forwarding / rerouting of the mail to another address
Execution of a program

The message can thereby be either retained on the server or deleted. The procedure can be activated at preset intervals.

Offer an "unsubscribe" option in your mass mailings

In every mass mailing, you should offer the recipients the option of having their names deleted from the mailing list. At the end of your message, for example, you could include something along the lines of the following sentence:

If you do not wish to receive any further messages from us, please answer this mail with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line.

The Feedback Module can then add the sender of this mail automatically to the exclusion list.

Set up a "subscribe" function for your Newsletter on your Homepage

A simple link makes this possible:

<a href="mailto:newsletter@IhreDomain.de?subject=subscribe"> Subscribe to Newsletter</a>

It then appears as follows: Subscribe to Newsletter
The user's e-mail program then opens.

A more advanced way to process subscriptions is to let the webserver send these mails by a CGI Script. BulkMailer Feedback Module is able to parse these mails.
