Setting up your PostCast mail
server program will only take minutes....

This is how to do it...

>Start-up postcast, >click tools, >settings >System Tab and
"tick/check"--Manually (this way; manually, you need to press PostCast Start Button every time you want PostCast to send emails and when PostCast is done with sending--it will auto stop and you will need to press the "Start button" again if you want it to send again. OK, done, just leave everything else at default.

How does it work?
Basically, your email Mailsbroadcast freeware program will deliver email messages to the PostCast mail server program within your PC and when you click....

The PostCast "Start" button (you need to be online--will work with a dial-up account or broadband always -on account), all your emails will be sent directly from PostCast to your recipients ISP mail-server mailbox thereby bypassing your ISP mail server as well as any limitations imposed by them--it simply means that your PC is the mail server.

Notes: You will notice that some emails in the PostCast will remain undelivered--it is due to various reasons like; invalid email address (dead email address) or the mail server is busy (timeouts or Server-time-out), errors like 550 etc., see SMTP return codes error
 

  
 
 
It is quite normal and you may need to click PostCast Start button again to try delivering them again or configure PostCast to run automatically and it will try to deliver them over a 24 hours time frame making at least 20 attempts before considering any unsent emails as dead ones.  
 


Notes: You will notice that some email address will always be rejected by some ISP mail servers for example; hotmail. To send emails to those ISP mail servers... read more
