Version: 8.7.3
very disappointing how this once great programme has become. No real break-through development since years but a unpleasant almost forced-to-be subscription service.
Cannot recommend these folks

Version: 8.7.2
Success went to Stan's head! I was a user of this software from the very beginning and bought over years all different software. Unfortunately with the annual renewal plan the SCAM started.
When the license is about to expire you are bombarded with notifications to update, no mention anywhere what your existing serial is still valid.
The scam is that this valid serial gets constantly lost in the programme, hence you have to re-enter the serial number. And, no surprise, sometimes you are not able to but get notified that you are up for renewal. This game was played two years in a row.
When complained to Stan Busk, explaining that this upgrade scenario is mega unethical, he was very unpleasant and kicked us out from the upgrade plan. Now we have regular free update notifications but when downloading the software it does not open. Super annoying and time-wasting.
MaxProgs "forced" update plans are illegal in Europe (company registered in Spain).
As we have worked since decades with this software we are quite inflexible in moving to another platform.
Our recommendation - STAY OUT and look for ethical alternatives.

The new update system is a SCAM and each year you have the same problems. Client since 20+ years with them. When the update plan expires so does as well the serial number. When you like to re-enter it there are constant messages like fake serial number, I have to downgrade (despite having the right version, etc). All done just for one purpose - to renew the license. Really unethical and desperate.

Just to get the program I purchased, I am bombarded with the supposed need to download another app just to get the Mailer, not good. After not even being able to log into said accessory app, I ended deleting it and just downloading Mailer from the browser. Now I can't even get my registration code...waiting for the 24 hour mark? I need to use the program without Mailers unregistered features, please just have the activation code available immediately after purchase. I don't doubt the power of the program, but just getting started has been a real hassle.

Thanks for the honest reviews - I was tempted, looking at some kind of program that can be independent of OSX Contacts/Address book as a stand alone marketing email system for client contacts. The deveoper seems to be a problem, and the program outdated. I'll keep looking elsewhere.

I used this 5 or 6 years ago I don't think there is still a place for it as there are options like MailChimp etc. the developer has always been a bit difficult from memory as i also had a couple of support requested at the time

Not bad. Has one feature (or lack of a feature) I don't like, that is, every single time I want to send a batch of emails, and it's not spam, it's a newsletter, I have to choose the recipients list again. I only have one recipients list, I'd like it to default to just that list. Emailed the developer and he was dismissive. I'm also removing a few stars just because he is an as*hole, in his response to JJ on this forum. And it's too expensive for what it does. He'd sell a lot more of them and make a lot more money if he wasn't so greedy. But I doubt he's able to appreciate that. As*holes don't respond well to criticism.

I have used this software for many years and seems to work fine. This software is geared more towards web designers and web professionals due to its many technical features and functions. I feel that program offers very good value.
From reading the recent comments earlier, I do wish that the company representative and the forum users would be more kind to each other as we gather here for the love of using a Mac. I wish everyone inner peace. Sincerely.

The MaxProg company, maker of MaxBulk Mailer, has demonstrated dubious business practices. Please read on and I believe you will agree. If you are interested in purchasing this software, you should be aware of this recent course of events.
I recently discovered a critical flaw in the software and reached out to the only option for support, their self hosted forum. The company is not available by phone, and they do not respond to email.
Below you will see two links to the conversation. The first link shows the support request as it appeared on the company's support forum before it was censored to remove evidence of a flaw in their software. The second link is to the posting on the forum as it appears now.
original post:

censored post as it appears today:
http://www.maxprog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6090
I presented the problem in a technically informative and objective fashion. The response from the company was rude and offered no technical support. If you carefully read my support request, and the responses back from their support, you will see why I am so frustrated and angry with these people.
If you are technically inclined, you will find it even more illuminating as to how insincere these people because my analysis is simple, and their response was defensive and deflected the facts.
The company behind this product may abandon you after they take your money. They may censor your posts so the public is not exposed to the product's bugs, and bad publicity. You should not believe what you see on the forum, because it is likely to have manipulated.
Finally, I have appealed to the company three times to reconsider helping me before I reached out to the public. They declined to help, or acknowledge. It's too bad, because I am willing to help them diagnose the issue.

This is the worst software ever!!! I tried to send a promo and it mailed to people 4 times. I sent out a couple times and cancelled as soon as it started. I am not a complet ludite- I promise. BUt there is something so counter intuitive about this product that you have no idea how many times it decides to send things out.

Good application but few steps behind DIRECT MAIL. To say that, MaxBulk Mailer got a lot of potential but overconfident developer would not give it to us ... due to his unfriendly attitude ...
May be he feel, that all those $$$ we pay him over the years to stay in business are for nothing ... right ...

I am looking for a good (I'd even settle for decent) bulk mailing application for OSX that has the following features:
* Rich Text emails
* Can easily pull lists from Mac address book
* Can easily insert variable data into body of email.
* Insertion based on rules would be great.
I've been trying to MaxBulk Mailer to work and the features look pretty spot on to my needs. The trouble is that I can't get it configured to work with my mail server. I contacted the developer and got a very fast response that said
Unfortunately, Mailings does not yet support secure (SSL) mail server's such as Gmail. If you have access to another mail server please try that. I am sorry for the incompatibility and I am working on an update that supports SSL.
"I do have another mass emailer called "Quaik" which does support SSL. It supports some of the features of Mailings. You can read more about it, and download it, here: http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities/Quaik.html (Be sure to read the release notes for important feature information that may not be in the documentation :)"
Quaik looks too light on the feature set for me.
Any suggestions on which email systems to use? I've tried with Yahoo and me.com accounts and can't get either one to work. If anyone has had success with those mail providers I would REALLY appreciate a tip on how to set MaxBulk to work properly. Alternatively, which other bulk mail applications do you suggest?

New version 5.5 will NOT deliver report. We went back to version 5.4 and no problem there. We have tested a number times and it seams too, that ver. 5.5 has some problem here.
Otherwise this application is really good.

This is brilliant, just what I needed. I had to give it a 4 overall rating but only for one reason. I wish it had the facility to receive incoming messages and reports. ie if an email address bounces back with a failure report it could de-activate or flag up that address. At present you have to go through the emails you receive back and manually manage the failed ones etc. Other than that though this was a real life saver for me. I was looking for a cheap app to send out a couple of newsletters and this came up with everything I needed.

Anyone knows an alternative (free maybe) program to MaxBulk?
Many thanks!
