I have been using Gammadyne Mailer probably for 10 years or more. It really is a full-functioned mailing program. There is a significant learning curve, but once you have set it up, it works by itself. Over the years, I have had occasion to ask Greg W. questions via email. He has been gracious with his time, and helpful with his answers -- even a decade after my purchase! [Note: the writer may receive compensation for this review if among first 25 to send in a review. However, these are my honest opinions irrespective of whether I receive compensation.]

Full function program, handling everything from sign-ups, to bounces, to sending out a weekly newsletter (in my case). Greg provides great personal support.

Takes some significant learning. Less than easy double-opt-in process.

If you're a DIY user, Gammadyne Mailer is an excellent choice. Sure it might be a little slower sending than a cluster of dedicated mail servers, and you need to learn the features that are important to you, but you won't feel ripped off by some service provider. Everything that I was looking for in an ESP I found Gammadyne could do. Invest in understanding how email lists work, and you'll have a very valuable tool that's going to save you a lot of money. Plus you'll keep control of your lists, manage your own sender reputation, and feel more accomplished and connected to your audience. It's the difference between hiring a promoter and learning to build loyalty on your own. It takes a little effort on your part, but the result is you understand and adjust to make your email programs much more meaningful (both internally and externally) and more likely to be read by your audience. Being hands-on with email is way better than using a service provider. The mistakes you make will teach you how to be a better communicator.

If you're looking for a specific feature, it's there.

You have to learn the mechanics of how email sending actually works instead of being hands-off and just pressing "go."

It works, most of the time, but then it doesn't and you lose stuff. It does seem user friendly at the beginning.

You know how well Outlook works? Well this has a similar track record. It's not my favorite product, and most of my contractors have fits with it.

I've been using Gammadyne Mailer for at least 10 years now. Although I use only a relative handful of the myriad capabilities of this amazing software, its depth of features I find astounding. It is easy-to-use for those of us with simpler needs, but capable of the most complex operations I could ever imagine for those who might require them. My analogy is that it is a Cray Supercomputer built so it can also do simple spreadsheets, word processing and browsing the web as well as handle the most complex calculations anyone could want to do. I've spent a lot of time studying its full range of abilities, only because I find it fascinating. Being a software junkie in service of making my life at work easier, I've found and used a number of great work task problem-solvers. In my opinion, I have never used any software that upgrades so meaningfully. Each upgrade has either made something better (incl. bug fixes) , added something valuable for someone, or made it easier for me to use. Last thoughts on my part, is the documentation. Their documentation is more than extensive and clear, and I have never had to call the company to find a solution to my question or problem. Even though I've never called or written the company for support I gave it 5 stars. I just assume what that will be like based on the care that has gone into the program itself. I guess I like Gammadyne Mailer :-) Alexander Irving

You already have my overall review that covers these points.

Not much to gripe about.

I've been using Gammadyne Mailer for nearly as long as I've been operating LocalWineEvents.com over 16 years. I can honestly say that I could not have done what I've done without it. To this day, it is an absolutely essential piece of our operation. Very little trouble over the years and when I had a question, the support was (and still is) extremely helpful. I give it five stars across the board. EVO

Very robust. More features than you can imagine. Fully functional part of our business that has not worked as needed.
