We are proud to announce the sponsorship of the open source autoDrop project who has been started by one of our team members, Kivanc.

autoDrop is a very useful script which works in the backend and monitors your Apache web server access log for any kind of flood. Such as high Oempro API connection from a certain source.

By using autoDrop, you can set your own access thresholds and control Oempro API connection. If any source exceeds the defined thresholds, it gets blocked with iptable firewall system temporarily.

Take a look at project page for more information and free download:

We hope you like it. For any questions regarding this open source project, you may contact project owners via the project page.

There are some cases where you need to check the campaigns that are being sent from your Oempro, either for content or quality control. For this, we have added a new feature to Oempro with v4.3 update that will allow you to preview campaigns as Administrator before they are sent and approve them if they are suitable to send. This approval process is based on your user’s reputation level. If he/she is ‘Untrusted’, all campaigns created by him/her will be dropped into ‘Pending Approval’ tab and will require you to approve them to be sent.

Here is a screenshot tour of this new feature:

We know that time is very important and using the default import subscriber processes for adding 1 or 2 email addresses to your lists was not that efficient for such a simple task. It is good for big imports but not for very small imports. For this we have added a new feature to Oempro v4.3 which helps you to add small number of subscribers in a short time through a new option in ‘Add Subscrbers Wizard’. With this new option, you just fill a form, like the subscription form, submit it and the new subscriber is added to your list. It is like an embedded subscription form but for you to use.

Here are the screenshots of this new feature:

With Oempro v4.3 update, you can now add your own custom email headers into the source of all emails sent from your Oempro. This feature brings several advantages. One of them is the ability of segmenting your sending on the MTA level. You can insert user group id into your outgoing emails and then balance your sending through virtual MTAs setup in your MTA, use different IP blocks for each each user or send transactional emails through different IP blocks.
