Welcome to Mailings

Mailings is a mature, high-grade mail delivery app for sending personalized email messages to large groups of contacts. For business or personal use, Mailings is capable of sending thousands of messages, or just a hundred, directly and privately from your own Mac. Using Mailings ensures the privacy of recipient addresses, message content and tracking data.

Conveniently employ Mailings anytime to email:

• Newsletters
• Marketing campaigns
• Mail's Stationery postcards and announcements
• Any web page on the Internet
• Raw source generated by other mail clients, or Mailings

Connect with your customers by publishing to the web with the tools of your choice and then share by email with Mailings, optionally using safe, secure connections. Easily track your results with the Message Monitor by listening for messages that have been opened, right on your Mac. Tracking data is stored in a database on your computer, in human readable XML text format, and can be organized separately for each mailing or as "all in one."

With no intention of re-inventing the wheel, Mailings integrates with other key applications you already have for performing certain tasks. This includes preview and SPAM detection in Mail and other mail clients, sending any web page loaded in Safari and other browsers, accessing Address Book for addressing and customizing message content.
