Guide Review - Gammadyne Mailer 37 - Email Marketing Software
Gammadyne Mailer is not the neatest email marketing application, and it is not the easiest to use either. Tons of options and panes and and buttons and switches are spread around the screen. They also let you control one of the most powerful email marketing applications.
Once you come to grips with the interface, you'll appreciate the flexibility built into Gammadyne Mailer. For example, Gammadyne Mailer does not just have mail merging. You can really personalize messages with conditional statements, variables and database fields.
List management, message delivery, incoming mail processing are all equally powerful — and ugly. Setting up some of the mighty tools, like incoming mail processing for bounces or to create auto-responders, is a bit arcane, too.
Don't let that keep you from giving Gammadyne Mailer a try. The help file is as detailed, ugly and capable as the rest of Gammadyne Mailer.
