CGI stands for "Common Gateway Interface," a fancy name meaning computer programs running on the webserver that can be invoked from a www page at the browser.

Power PlusMail System

All of the features of the PlusMail System can be edited, modified and controlled by using the Plusmail Control Panel.

Unlimited Subscribable Mailing Lists:

This feature can be controlled by the Control Panel. This is one of the most powerful features of the Power PlusMail System. This will allow you to give your customers an email address that they can send to and be added to your personalized maillist. This is a great way to offer your customers a monthly newsletter, sales updates or just a friendly hello. The Plusmail system is capable of multiple lists so you can organize what information your customers may be looking for, a friendly welcome message will also be sent. The lists can be up to 1000 names and you can email a message up to 75k to the lists you create.
: By placing a simple text file of E-Mail addresses on your domain you can easily build a mailing list of up to a thousand addresses. This is linked to your autoresponder robot. When a request is made for a file from one of your potential customers, the requester's E-Mail automatically gets placed in your mailing list. You are then able to send updates and information on new products by simply mailing to your mailing list file. For example, if your list is named "clients", you would E-Mail clients@yourdomain.com and the entire list would get the information you want distributed. You may also use this for a number of marketing services, such as, electronic newsletters, an information exchange network, or just a simple list server that you can have visitors subscribe to.

Secure Server SSL:

Normally, any text (such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text.

However, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key.
