Maybe if this program was adware, so then the spammers would have those incredibly annoying little pop-ups all the time... That would be poetic. I'm sure some people might have a legitimate use for this program, but I sure don't. If I need it, XP Pro already offers built-in SMTP service.

While the ability to send e-mail direct with no ISP SMTP server is a good feature, the fact that it's in an app that only *sends* mail to multiple recipients, makes it nothing more than a SPAM generator as far as I'm concerned.

Wonderful. An email client specifically designed with the goal of sending spam to lots of people. That's just what we need.

For those of you defending a product like this, you deserve every spam you get. Any product can have some justifications - a virus is great to see how our security is working and if our definitions are up to date! Uh, no. This program is for lame spammers wanting a quick and easy way to bog down the mail servers out there. Plain and simple.

Why throw out the baby with the bath water. Yes, someone could use EasyMail for spamming, but there are plenty of valid reasons to use a program like EasyMail that don't involve spamming.

For example, I am a member of several technical committees that have from 50 to 100 members, Sending out ballots via email to individual members was a nightmare because one of my ISP's limited email on their SMTP sever to 15 outgoing addresses at once. That meant splitting up (and maintaining) my mailing list for the committees in groups of 15 or less. What a pain!

With EasyMail I can send directly to the recipient's email server, get verification that it was accepted by their server (or an error message on why it wasn't) and as an extra personalize the email going to each member.

EasyMail is the best program I found to handle this type of emailing problem. The address book maintenance is a little weak, (especially on imports) but it does the job. Another benefit is that I don't have to remember to select the correct SMTP server depending on which network I may be on at the time (home, travel, clients, ...).

To use the direct delivery service you do need to be sure your ISP doesn't block port 25. Some of the big ISPs (ie Earthlink on dial-up) block port 25 and only let you access their SMTP server on that port. This is supposedly to block spammers, but it is a major aggravation for those of us who send to a medium size group of individuals. The real spammers easily find their way around the port blocking anyway.

"Any spammer with half a clue is going to setup a Unix based SMTP server to do his dirty work for him, simply becuase of how much better it is at this sort of thing then a Windows solution."

Have you seen the s*** these spammers sell? How can you say they have even 1/8 of a clue? :)

Sorry, this falls under bad karma software development that is intentioned for evil. It's not quite virus writing, but it's close...

Oh give me a break people. You don't like the program because it could be used to spam? Yeesh. Here's a newsflash: Any spammer with half a clue is going to setup a Unix based SMTP server to do his dirty work for him, simply becuase of how much better it is at this sort of thing then a Windows solution. I suppose you had better also run out and ban sendmail, Exim, Qmail, and all of the other programs that make E-Mail itself work!

Get a life people. They still give out copies of ping with Windows, despite the fact that it can be used to pingflood people.

This program is something I've needed for a while, something that lets me send out mail when my ISP's server is acting screwy, or I'm on the road and don't have a server I can use.

This would be a good program if they put in some measures to counter abusive spam for registered users. Something like a limit on how many mails can be sent in an hour. I'm sure they could come up with some creative solutions for this.

reidyn reviewed v3.0 Beta 4 on Apr 16, 2001

I notice that the gentleman says that these physical limitations are in the "UNREGISTERED version", though it is apparent that once one registers the product, the limitations go away. As for the licensing restriction on use of the product for spamming? This means that it is on the honor system, boys and girs... What lowlife spammer is going to be honorable enough to abide by a mere licensing agreement? Please be realistic and don't assume that we're all naive.

We will never tolerate the use of EasyMail to facilitate the sending of spam mail. We have taken measures to stop people from abusing our product - for example, the unregistered version of EasyMail has limitations in them to stop them from being abused. There is a limitation on the number of messages (maximum 100) that can be sent at any time.

Using this product in indiscriminate spamming activity is prohibited under the product license agreement.

This program allows me to present a consistent e-mail identity to my clients while using different ISP accounts. The merge feature allows me to update multiple clients on current information and present it as an individually created e-mail. Also, transfer of attachments files is VERY FAST. I am impressed enough with this program to have paid the registration fee.
