Guide Review - Smart Sender 1.01 - Email Marketing Software
The second part of its name tells a lot about Smart Sender: it is primarily concerned with sending mail. This is does quite effectively using multiple (external) SMTP servers as well as multiple threads.
Unfortunately, Smart Sender is not capable of doing much more. As a tool for email marketing it is virtually useless due to completely missing mail merging or list management. The mailing list doesn't even have a field for the recipients' names.
The included message editor doesn't provide any comfort or help either. You'd better compose your messages elsewhere (in a plain text or HTML editor) and use Smart Sender for reliable, efficient and fast mail delivery only. That's what it can do.
