That's how IEM does it, and it makes them a bit easier to manage.Ĥ. It'd be better simply to mark them as "bounce" or "dead", and then not send to them. Not sure if they HAVE to, but I use my blacklist for critical stuff, and adding bounces to it screws that up. I wish it was easier to switch from the front-end to back-end modes (maybe a toggle in the login ID, and then automatically create a front-end user for the admin: after all, a LOT of users will be single-user owner/senders).ģ. Obviously you don't want/need to rely on this all the time, but especially when you're first setting the machine up, it'd be neat.Ģ. Two ways to do this: first, as a version of the "top" command (which I use on our server while it's running), or second, as a mini web-app that you could launch in a separate process that would automatically reload every 15, 30, or 60 seconds. It'd be nice to be able to track processor, RAM, network, and MySQL utilization during the send. IEM does reasonably well with high-level info about your campaigns, opens, clicks, unsubs, etc - but MailWizz takes reporting a lot further, and gives you a much better overall picture of performance, especially at the system level.ġ. More reports, more details, and more granular information that you need to know if you're sending. The WYSIWYG that IEM uses is actually an updated version of one they've been using since at least 2005. Built-in inlining for HTML messages, minifying, a modern WYSIWYG editor, etc. Good memory consumption, too: 50 threads 500 messages each created a bunch of processes at around 275mb each, even though I gave it as much RAM to play with as it needed.Ĥ. MailWizz is fast & responsive, even running it full-bore. Took 30 seconds to even reload the campaigns page. We have a big, fast server, but with multi-threading installed, IEM was a dog. Maybe that's because our SMTP host was dropping messages, though.ģ. Seems like 50 threads ACTUALLY sends like 4x faster. 50 threads should send around 2x faster than 25 threads. Actual throughput seems a little strange, though. I'll buy another copy today so I feel less guilty about the performance vs. I'd charge $100 for it, but I'm not complaining about the lower price. In fact, MailWizz should cost more, I think. Unfortunately, our SMTP server couldn't handle the load - which we resolved dropping the parallel threads until our deliverability monitor showed it 100% again.ġ. PCNTL is installed by Default on Dreamhost Dedicated LAMP servers, so on campaign #3 I cranked it up to 50 threads processing 500 messages each, and ran through the entire 100k email list in about 45 minutes on our server. So, now that I've done 3 or 4 big campaigns on MailWizz, I'm pretty happy with the platform. However, our send rate didn't seem to increase, and IEM offers ZERO tracking for deliverability, which is an issue that we ran into when we cranked up MailWizz the first time.
#INTERSPIRE EMAIL MARKETER HELP INSTALL#
That took a LOT of time to install (it requires ioncube, and since our command-line PHP is diff than our cgi PHP, it meant updating paths inside the add-ons files to get it working). It's single-threaded, so we purchased the Maborak multi-thread add-on. The PROBLEM started when we outgrew what IEM was able to send in a day. The price is a little painful at $450+ for each single-user license, but otherwise it's a good tool. So here's the deal: IEM works great for what it does - if you want a solid, reliable, configurable email tool, it's wonderful. I've been using Interspire Email Marketer on a daily basis for 7 years, have purchased about 10 copies of it for various clients & corporations, and own 3 copies myself.and this week I'm busy switching my company over to MailWizz.
