July 24, 2024

.

January 14, 2015

MultiSendcon uses multithreading to send multiple emails at the same time when many emails are in the queue. Some SMTP relay servers reject emails if too many concurrent connections are open. use this new limit to keep MultiSendcon from overloading your SMTP relay server.

Improved: Automatic retries for file access if temporary message files (stored by MultiSendcon after receiving the email from Exchange) is blocked by another process (antivirus, etc.)

November 06, 2014

v2.68

Bugfix: Problem with parallel processing many retries or many NDRs at the same time solved.

September 10, 2014

v2.67

Improved: Replace-Sender feature now also replaces Disposition-Notification-To header field so read notifications are sent back to the correct address

August 29, 2014

May 08, 2014

v2.62

Improved:: Now accepts 8-bit encoding in emails too in case special characters are encoded as 8-bit characters instead of HTML chars.
Improved: Software now automatically limits number of concurrent threads for mass emailings as to not overwhelm the processing.

May 06, 2014

v2.61

Improved:: Communication between MultiSendconAdmin and the service had some size limits imposed by the windows communication framework that made configurations with more than 50 accounts impossible. We increased these restrictions so that now configurations with several thousand accounts are possible.

April 18, 2014

v2.60

New: MultiSendcon now uses multithreading to send out multiple emails at the same time for increased performance
New: Configureable wait time for each account to slow down throughput for relay servers that don't allow more than a certain number of emails per hour

April 03, 2014

v2.53

New: Allow override of sender replacement feature by setting the sensitivity tag to "private" in emails. This feature can be switched on and off for each account.

February 11, 2014

v2.22

Bugfix: Automatic repeat of sending for Code 45x temporary server errors didn't work for all codes - fixed.

February 01, 2014

v2.21

Improved: IP port number can be anything now, not just 25/465/587

January 13, 2014

v2.19

Bugfix: Improved handling of partial recipient failures in multi-recipient emails

November 13, 2013

v2.18

Improved: Extended error messages for failed test messages in the admin tool.

October 08, 2013

v2.17

New: Additional configuration parameter: Email address to be used as sender for empty senders. Sometimes Exchange sends emails (NDRs for example) without any envelope FROM addres. This setting ensures those emails do get through relay servers by supplying a replacement sender address.
Improved: Now uses FROM address automatically if envelope-from is empty.
Bugfix/speed improvement: Solved high-volume race condition causing some stmp connections to be dropped.

August 22, 2013

v2.16

Improved: Stricter binding of master smtp relay to configured IP port. Connection could be interrupted by other IP services claiming the same port in older versions.

July 30, 2013

v2.15

Bugfix: Option "Use FROM address instead of SMTP envelope information" did not "stick" in some configurations - solved.

July 05, 2013

v2.13

Bugfix: Specific email header combinations (like in emails from MFP scanning devices) caused problems with the forwarding of the attachments in the same email. Solved in this version.

June 20, 2013

v2.10

Improved: Now supports SMTP relay servers that require explicit SSL/TLS encryption rather than just automatic implicit SSL/TLS based on IP port. The Office 365 smtp relay server for example require this option.

June 07, 2013

v2.00

Improved: Now automatically removes the temporary X-MultiSendcon email header fields before sending out emails to the internet

March 04, 2013

v1.99

Better handling of timed-out connections
"5 days trial left" warning no longer causes loss of configuration data

February 20, 2013

v1.98

New: Now you can select the "HELO/EHLO domain" for each account individually. This is the domain name that MultiSendcon uses to sign on to the SMTP relay or target SMTP server with the HELO or EHLO command. If you leave it blank MultiSendcon will just pass-through the domain used by Exchange to sign on to MultiSendcon.

February 18, 2013

v1.97

Improved: Can now deliver to domains without MX records in DNS by substituting the domain name directly for the missing MX entry. Not quite correct but works fine for the surprisingly high numbers of hosts that have missing MX records.

January 29, 2013

v1.96

Improved: Longer SMTP timeout for sites that deliberately delay SMTP answers to deter spammers. We encountered a few sites that delay "RCPT TO" command answers for up to 40 seconds so MultiSendcon now waits up to 90 sec for SMTP protocol answers to enable successful transmission to these sites as well.

January 23, 2013

v1.95

Bugfix: Communication problems between Admin and MultiSendcon service due to IP port conflicts solved.
Improved: Admin log window let's you now copy text and scroll without stopping updates.

January 21, 2013

Improved: Support for finding active mail server for hosts with multiple MX entries (only necessary when sending directly / dns)
Improved: Moved communication between Admin and Service to IP port 7890 to avoid crowded port 8000.

January 17, 2013

v1.93

Bugfix: Timing issue could cause buildup of addresses in SMTP sessions with many emails - solved.

January 16, 2013

v1.92

Extended support for repeat transmission in case outgoing email gets rejected to more SMTP error codes because not all sites use the correct "temporary fail" codes 45x

January 15, 2013

v1.91

New: Support for repeat transmission in case outgoing email gets rejected by greylisting sites with SMTP error code 45x
New: Passwords no longer displayed as clear text in configuration (several customers asked for this)
