delete and even manually add users.• Lists – You can simply use the default list or add as many as you

need.• Newsletters and Templates – You can create as many

templates as you like and then select a template for each mailing.• Queue – When you send a mailing and it doesn’t complete for

any reason you will see which ones didn’t succeed and are able to send them or delete.• Statistics – All mailing stats are recorded. You can easily see

AcyMailing Editions contd.



Is AcyMailing for you?• If your mailing list is smaller than about 500 then it is ideal.• You can use with larger but then you run the risk of Server

limitations in that you could be listed as a SPAMER!• If you have lists of substantially more than 1000 I would

suggest using a dedicated option.• Very easy to use and adapt to a wide range of uses.• Easy to add, edit or delete users and lists.• If you are familiar with HTML and CSS then you can style very

attractive mails, otherwise you will be limited to using the Templates supplied.
