    AutoMailer for Windows

    Complying with your ISP rules and regulations is very important, but it is also important to comply with the CAN SPAM Act and all FTC regulations. Add that to being able to take advantage of the maximum number of emails per hour allowed by your ISP. The new AutoMailer for Windows is a Windows Application built on top of our Bulk Mailer 3 engine and designed to easy up the delivery process “in automatic mode”, delivering a user defined number of newsletters at specific intervals (of one hour) via any SMTP server in the world.
    Similarly to our Bulk Mailer 3, the new DAPROSE AutoMailer for Windows will help you all the way to comply with the CAN SPAM ACT and the FTC regulations pertaining email/ecommerce marketing.
    DAPROSE AutoMailer for Windows has all the functionality of its parent system the Bulk Mailer 3, plus it has a new timer control that automatically activates the application in intervals of one hour to send/deliver any available email-list located in a specific folder in your computer system.
    DAPROSE AutoMailer for Windows features the same Bulk Mailer 3 delivery engine to minimize errors, to increase effectiveness of delivery, and to comply with the CAN SPAM ACT and FTC regulations.
    This new version features:

    • A new Timer that automatically activates the delivery process
    • Folder based delivery. You place all lists in a specific folder in your computer and the AutoMailer delivers all lists until finishes
    • An enhanced delivery engine. This is the third generation of our bulk mailer engine, tested in the real world for over 15 years
    • Greatly improved delivery process to maximize results
    • Fast
    • Reliable
    • It now uses a global “Internet Name” list for allowed Internet Names (Ex: .com, .net, .org,      etc.)
    • It uses an Invalid (NO SEND) Domain List as required by the FTC, (Ex: @bad-domain.com) and includes over 2,400 no-send-domains, as regulated by the FTC.
    • It uses an Unsubscribe or Remove List as required by the FTC (Ex: bad_name@bad-domain.com)
    • It works with most SMTP servers in the world (both secured and unsecured)
    • It runs on all Windows Servers and Workstations in the world.
    • It parses a Simple Macro Definition Language, (SMDL), (Ex: [:DATE:]) helpful for message personalization. (Ex: Dear [:USERID:], more ..)
    • It includes a SMTP Error Recovery Synchronizer
    • It includes a Magnifying Glass “Mini-Editor” for Message Editing
    • All settings are remembered for future or continuous use
    • Bulk Mailer capable up to 99 BCC:
    • Powerful embedded Email Checker/Verifier. Pre-detects mal-formed and invalid e-mails
    • SMTP SSL ready for  secure SMTP connections if needed
    • Progress Bars and Record Counters for delivery progress and user supervision
    • It creates a Log file for delivery error reporting
    • VCR Style control panel for easy user interaction.
    • File attachments ready
    • Plain ASCII text messages for global distribution (Not HTML). We have discontinued using      HTML messages as a large percentage of readers (e-mail recipients) do not allow HTML messages due to potential harmful JavaScript code embedded in HTML messages. This ensures virus free messages and 100% readability
    • Save buttons for the Verified Email List and the Message Body
    • Reset buttons for the Verified Email List and the Message Body
    • File dialogs ready for the Send Email List and the Message Body
    • Free version updates/upgrades distributed via e-mail

    XCACLS

    Display or modify Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and folders.
    Syntax:
    XCACLS filename [options] XCACLS filename
    Key:
    If no options are specified XCACLS will display the ACLs for the file(s)
    options can be any combination of:
    /T Traverse all subfolders and change all matching files found.
    /E Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
    /x Edit ACL instead of replacing it; affect only ACEs that this user already owns*
    /R user Revoke all access rights from the given user.
    /D user Deny specified user access, this will over-ride all other permissions the user has. /C Continue on access denied errors.
    /Y Replace user’s rights without verify
    /P user:permision[;FolderSpec] Replace user’s rights. see /G option below
    /G user:permision[;FolderSpec] Grant specified user access rights, permision can be:
    r Read
    c Change (write)
    f Full control
    p Change Permissions (Special access)
    o Take Ownership (Special access)
    x EXecute (Special access)
    e REad (Special access)
    w Write (Special access)
    d Delete (Special access)
    t Used only by FolderSpec. see below
    * Option only valid in Windows 2003FolderSpec is a permission applied to a folder. If FolderSpec is not specified then permission will apply to both files and folders.
    This allows you to set different permissions that will apply (through inheritance) when new files are added to the folder.
    FolderSpec = ;T@ where @ is one of the rights above, when this is specified new files will inherit FolderSpec instead of permission. At least one folder access right must follow the T For example ;TF will apply full control (but ;FT is not valid)
    Wildcards can be used to specify more that one file in a command. You can specify more than one user in a command. You can combine access rights.
    Versions:
    When running this command it is important to use the correct version (NTFS standards have changed with different versions of Windows and XCACLS has been updated to suit)
    Early versions of xcacls may give unpredictable results against an NTFS v5 partition.
    xcacls.vbs is described in Q825751 and can be downloaded here – xcacls.vbs is an unsupported utility that addresses a limitation with the original xcacls.exe, specifically the inability to append permissions to a folder whose child objects have the inheritance flag set. The .vbs version does not suppport unc paths.
    Examples:
    :: Allow guests the right to read and execute in MyFolder
    XCACLS MyFolder /E /G guests:rx
    :: Allow guests the Full Control permission in MyFolder and all subfolders
    XCACLS MyFolder /T /E /G guests:f
    :: Grant guests only read access to all files in and below MyFolder,
    :: new folders created will be Read Access only, new files will not inherit any rights.
    XCACLS MyFolder /T /P guests:R;Tr
    :: Grant guests only execute access to all files in and below MyFolder
    XCACLS MyFolder /T /P guests:x
    :: Take Ownership of "Application Data" folder and grant Administrators Full control (:OF)
    :: Preserve existing permissions (/E) & apply to subfolders (/T)
    XCACLS "Application Data" /E /g Administrators:OF /T

    e.g.
    WMIC /locale:ms_409 /BIOS /CALL /?
    WMIC /locale:ms_409 /MEMLOGICAL /SET /?The order of the /FORMAT and /TRANSLATE switches is significant: if /TRANSLATE follows /FORMAT, the output is formatted first and then translated.
    All the options above can be extended with a WHERE clause, best shown by the examples below:

    Notes
    WMIC is available on Windows XP Professional and Windows 2003. To retrieve WMI information from older remote machines download & install: WMI core for Win 9x / WMI core for Win NT 4
    The availability of WMI information does vary across different versions of Windows
    e.g. ODBC, SNMP, Windows Installer.
    To run WMIC requires administrator rights.
    In Windows 2000, around 4,000 properties can be monitored, and around 40 can be configured.
    In Windows XP around 6,000 properties can be monitored, and around 140 can be configured.
    Windows 2003 offers a few improvements and bug fixes: the global option /locale:ms_409 is not required (it defaults to English US.)
    When you type WMIC for the first time in Windows 2003 all the aliases are compiled. The second, and subsequent times you run WMIC, it will start immediately. Under XP WMIC is slower to initialise, therefore to run several WMI queries it can be quicker to use interactive mode.
    * WMI information for installed software packages (PACKAGE and SOFTWAREFEATURE) is often incomplete and inconsistent for a variety of historical reasons. A more reliable method is to retrieve a list of installed programs directly from the Add/Remove list in the registry, with a WSH script like this from Torgeir Bakken.
