Released July 2004: Version 4.1
Version 4.1.240 is available for download. This will be a free update for all version 4 users. Critical update.
Bug fix in case sensitivity of do-not-email lists. If you are using this feature, this is a critical update.
We have updated the X-Mailer header in this version.

For changes in Mailer 3 vs. version 2, see the headline
Major Version Release below.
Version 3.5.59.163 - a free update for all Mailer 3 users! Just download
and install.
Version 3.5.59.163 - recommended maintenance update. Oct
30, 2003
We goofed! The previous release was in fact a pre-release version
of our Mailer 4 build. It had some Mailer 4 features in it, along with
some bugs. Please accept our apologies for that error! Our developer
is hiding under the desk. All those who purchased Mailer 3 after September
1, 2003 will get a complimentary upgrade to Version 4 when it is released.
This build of Mailer 3 fixes just the attachment problem from release
54 below, which was a critical bug for some customers.
Mailer 3.5.58.174 - recommended maintanence update. Oct
17, 2003
Some attachment filename extensions were being corrupted with removal
of the last character of the filename extension. We've finally found
and were able to fix this bug.
List restrictions moved into the mail information dialog.
This is the last release of version 3 prior to release of Mailer version
4 (stay tuned!). All those who purchsaed Mailer or an upgrade to Mailer
3 after September 1, 2003 will receive a complimentary upgrade when
Mailer 4 is released.
Plain text portions no longer show up as attachments with inlined
images in HTML.
The '+' sign and other special characters are now allowed in an email
address.
The scheduler now uses the same timeout settings as are in Mailer's
program options.
A bug in sending PDF attachments is fixed.
While PopMonger was recording email addresses as all lower case, Mailer's
exclusion list was matching them case-sensitive. Mailer's list restriction
function is now not case sensitive.
Changed the license agreement to make it more legible and understandable.
Mailer 3.3.45.150 - a minor update. No download necessary unless you
are having problems.
We fixed a bug in Excel data source connections.
Mailer 3 how has a Free version, in addition to the Gold and Regular
versions. For a complete comparison of different versions, check
here. The free version appends "Powered by Mach5 Mailer"
to the end of mailings, can send 200 messages at most, and has a few
other limitations, but otherwise is fairly useful.
Version 3.2 - a free update for all Mailer 3 users! Just download
and install.
Mailer 3.2.42.143
We changed the scripting language delimiters (markers) from { } to
<% %> so that it is easier to put the curly braces in mailings
(as may appear in Javascript of HTML for instance). Old mailing files
with the old delimiters will still function correctly. This makes editing
HTML messages much easier.
We added a note about spam to the installer and took out the notice
"Not licensed for uce" from the mailer header, as some of
our customers did not think this was professional. Now the Mach5 Mailer
header just has some numbers in it, a portion of the registration code,
and the email address "uce@mach5.com" where ISPs can send
complaints. The Gold version does not include the email address in the
header, but still includes the other numbers. We think this appears
much more professional. Note that we do not divulge customer information
to others, even those who complain about spam.
Mailer now works with direct connections to Access views, and is not
limited to tables.
We added major enhancements to PopMonger allowing it to filter bounces
from servers that send eml attachments back, as well as the ability
to filter bounces from mailings sent from programs other than Mach5
Mailer. We also fixed a few cases where PopMonger would hang trying
to read in a message in the mailbox.
Some problems with the installer have been fixed for Windows9x systems
We fixed some problems with the internal server, causing failure on
systems with limited memory sending very large mailings. (Internal SMTP server not present in versions 4.3 or higher)
A scheduler bug that caused email not to be scheduled was fixed, and
we tweaked the status indicators to make them easier to understand.
Version 3.1 - minor interface and feature changes, and bug fixes.
Mailer 3.1.31.115 and 30.114:
PopMonger fixes for parsing failed messages
New support for Mailer sending through SOCKS firewalls (Gold only)
ODBC support moved to Gold version, as it is rather complicated. Current
Mailer Regular owners that depend upon this feature should contact Mike
Landis at mlandis -at- mach5.com.
Problem with Mailer's sending to the internal server was fixed - we're
thinking of redoing the internal server to simplify it, but it's not
a recommended choice now anyway because of mail rejection by other mail
delivery servers.
Internal server config utility / server log refresh bug fixed.
Several attachments in an HTML mail were only showing up as one attachment
in Outlook
In the built-in CSV editor, control-V did a duplicate insert in the
cell with the focus.
Mailer Open -> Undo -> Redo in some cases did not work properly.
Bug in conditionals for dates fixed.
Commas are now allowed in email addresses.
Internal server logs were not being cleared automatically, causing
failure when the log file exceeded 2 gigabytes in size.
Excel: Number of records not updated after Excel data source changed.
Excel: analysis of field types for Excel spreadsheets now includes
all rows in the table.
Fixes a problem with line concatenation not handling line breaks properly.
Mailer now allows a message body larger than 32K.
Fixes a problem with email termination due to misplaced or unescaped
curly braces
ODBC connections to Microsoft SQL Views works now (Gold version)
Fixes a bug inserting date comparison filters and conditionals.
Fixes Windows 98 installation issues and scheduler under Windows 98.
Known issues:
The package installer says 3.0. It's 3.1.
The internal server does not deliver messages if the DNS is not set
up properly, with little feedback about the problem. Check the DNS server
logs and status to make sure it is sending.
Direct connections to Access queries still do not work. Dorect
connection to Access tables work fine though. The workaround
is simple though: just go through ODBC (Gold version), or export the
query result to an Excel spreadsheet or text file. This turns out to
be a very complicated issue.
Windows 98 installation's ODBC package gets an error, which is harmless
for the regular version. You need to install MDAC first in this case.
Info on the troubleshooting support page.
Mailer 3.0.24.99
Fixed problems in mail delivery with 3.0.23.98 (a bug that slipped
into just that short-lived release)
Mailer 3.0.23.98
(This release had some problems with mail delivery and has been discontinued)
We've had problems with the scheduler. It works now. However, under
some circumstances, you will have to create a new mailing file and use
that with the scheduler. To confirm that the scheduler is sending email,
click the "Task Options" button and look at the History tab.
If it has messages about XML format errors, you will need to create
a new mailing, and copy over any filters and text from your old mailing.
The log files now include detailed statistics about the mailing (or
about the test run).
Fixed a formatting issue with the currency and time data types.
Mailer 3.0.23.93
Check Update feature now checks complete build number
Bug with the log window is fixed. It now scrolls internally. First
messages disappear from the view window as it scrolls, but the entire
log is still stored correctly.
message->skip() now works in external scripting languages (Gold
only)
