MailBurst^TM: The Drop Folder

The MailBurst Drop folder lets you place send mail, simply by placing a file into the folder. Here's how it works:

As a result, you create a file like that below (note the three parts, address list, headers, and body are separated by a blank line):

address1
address2
...
address500

From: Admin, admin@dantowitz.com
To: MailBurst
Subject: Beta 11 released

This is the message body. Note that the file began with a list 
of address, followed by a blank line, followed by the message 
headers, followed by this message body.

So, to use the drop folder, just have any application create a file like the one above, and place then in the MailBurst drop folder.

If you're only sending to a SINGLE address, you can just place the headers and message in the file and name it: "-user@domain.com" Then, the message will be routed to that address. If you just wish to send a file and have the file treated as the BODY, and have MailBurst generate headers for you, name the file: "+user@domain.com" and a simple set of headers will be added before the message is sent.

If you wish to generate a series of files to the same user, you can name the files "+user@domain.com#1", "+user@domain2.com#2", and so on. MailBurst will ignore any characters in the file name after (and including) the "#" sign.

Note that the MailBurst Drop folder is enabled in the demo version, but will only send 100 files before quiting.
