JangoMail Unveils SMTP Relay Service

Pete Prestipino — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:45:00 GMT

Email marketing service provider Jangomail relased a new stand-alone SMTP relay service. The service is designed specifically for email marketers and offers open/click tracking, DomainKeys/DKIM signing and even logging and advanced email delivery.

Editors Note: An open mail relay is an SMTP server configured in such a way that it allows anyone on the Internet to send e-mail through it, not just mail destined to or originating from known users.

The new service can be utilized by email marketers using regular desktop email clients (including Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, and any other desktop client). It can even be used by those using Gmail. Other features of the SMTP service include SenderID/Sender Policy Framework (SPF) compliance, access to SMTP log files, API to access reporting data and the ability to group different types of emails.

"Through our own in-house research, we noticed significant customer demand for SMTP relay functionality specific to email marketers," said Ajay Goel, President of JangoMail. "Since email marketing is our bread and butter, we listened and are pleased to launch JangoSMTP.com. With the new site, we are poised to reach new customers in need of a reliable and advanced SMTP relay service."

ESP Jangomail's SMTP Integration with Gmail

Pete Prestipino — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:07:00 GMT

JangoMail announced a new SMTP relay integration with Gmail.

The new integration lets users utilize JangoMail servers to send email messages with their own custom domain -- eliminating the "on behalf of" message that recipients would typically see. This new integration comes on the heels of Gmail's recent upgrade allowing users to select their own SMTP service to send emails. Addressing a major pain point for Gmail users, this upgrade ensures recipients will no longer see both a sender's domain "from address" and Gmail "sender address" in the email header.

“We are pleased with Gmail’s recent upgrade,” explained Ajay Goel, President of JangoMail. “We can now offer our customers who are comfortable with Gmail’s composition tools to take full advantage of the JangoMail SMTP service, which allows extensive reporting functionality not offered by Gmail.”

Geo-Tracking Now Available at JangoMail

Pete Prestipino — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:12:00 GMT

Email marketing service provider JangoMail just introduced reporting on geo-tracking. The new feature enables marketers to determine the location (city/state/country/zip code) of recipients through open, click and Web site activity tracking. Email marketers can also determine the IP address, ISP and latitude/longitude data of recipients.

The geo-tracking feature will perhaps most importantly permit marketers to segment the data. Users will be able to filter reporting results to show data from recipients who are based within a particular mile radius from a specific zip code. JangoMail has also integrated with Google Maps to provide users with a visual overlay of Geo-Tracking data.

Users can export any segmented data into a new JangoMail group with a single mouse click -- allowing follow-up email campaigns to be sent to geo-targeted segments. “Segmentation and geo-targeting continue to be hot topics in the email marketing industry and we believe the new Geo-Tracking reporting functionality will bring critical intelligence to email marketers,” explained Ajay Goel, President of JangoMail.

SMTP Relay from JangoMail

Pete Prestipino — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:25:00 GMT

Email marketing service provider JangoMail today announced some innovative functionality to its service for transactional emails.

A trackable SMTP Relay feature will allow email marketers to connect to the JangoMail system via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) instead of the company's API -- making the platform easier to adopt. This means that email marketers can use Microsoft outlook, Thunderbird or any other desktop email client directly for their campaigns.

As an extension to JangoMail’s Transactional Email platform, the new trackable SMTP Relay functionality will provide users with open tracking, click tracking, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) signing as well as log files for confirmation of email delivery.

"We are excited to launch the first-ever trackable SMTP relay service for email marketers who have JangoMail running as the engine behind their applications that send individually triggered email messages to single recipients," said Ajay Goel, President of JangoMail.

Pete Prestipino — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:27:00 GMT

Email marketing provider JangoMail announced a new reporting feature that aims to improve email marketing campaigns. The new Visual Overlay for Click Tracking feature allows email marketers to view click tracking statistics graphically superimposed on top of sent email campaigns. At a glance, email marketers can now see exactly how each link in a message is performing.

"With JangoMail's latest enhancement, the Visual Overlay for Click Tracking, we are able to view click tracking results visually superimposed on top of our sent email campaigns," said Charlie Hohorst, president of CajunGrocer.com. "At a glance, we can now see our message and exactly how each link is performing in terms of visits. Plus, we can view additional campaign details such as total clicks versus unique clicks."

Email marketing provider JangoMail announced that it is now certified on SalesForce.com's AppExchange, an application sharing service that provides a range of add-on functionality for SalesForce.com environments, and that JangoMail for Salesforce is now available.

The application enables SalesForce customers to send email campaigns to their contacts, leads and campaigns in Salesforce.

JangoMail Enhances Reporting Features

Pete Prestipino — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:27:00 GMT
