With FollowUpMail(TM) technology in Version 2, ocxQmail is superb for making automated email messages 2, 5, 10 days or more after the event,

Version 3 allows you to

• specify multiple mailservers, failing over to the next in the list if the previous ones are down or unavaliable.
• use the mailserver of the recipient, using the special mail server name "<recipient_domain>" enabling an increase in throughput of several orders of magnitude.
• set an option to always try the recipients mailserver first, allowing existing deployments to seamlessly take advantage of this powerful new functionality.
• automatically reschedule an email if the target mailserver is down for a period of days, as occurred with the "ILoveYou" virus et al.
• Store sent messages in a "Sent Files" folder for later review
• Better logs for each message, allowing you to see which mailservers were tried, what error messages (if any) and the status of each message.
• An option for existing OCXMail customers to transparently upgrade OCXMail to use ocxQmail functionality without any source code ASP/VB changes on your website!

Try reading the tutorial on creating Followup email campaigns.

There are many examples of how the followup mail capability can be used in other settings such as Corporate/Intranet. For example:

• There is an important meeting scheduled for 1 week from now, use ocxQmail to schedule email reminders for 3, 2 and 1 day before the event.
• Every time a new employee joins, send her a welcome message, then a week later schedule an email asking if she has had time to read the introduction to the Human Resources manual After 2 weeks, give her the telephone number of Payroll, for any problems with her paycheck. After 3 months send her manager an email reminding the manager of her 3 month probationary review, etc. All from a single ASP page (or VB program etc) run once for each new employee.
• Meeting followup. A successful meeting concludes with a list of action items. Immediately after the meeting the manager sets reminder emails for each of her employees (blind-copying herself), a day before each deliverable is due.
