Near the end of 2007, we received word that our Internet hosting provider (IBM) was getting out of the hosting business in Atlanta and that our contract had been bought out by Quality Technology Services.

We’ve dealt with provider changes before, so this news wasn’t too disturbing. Shortly thereafter, we learned that we had to move all of our equipment to a new data center. Now, that news was cause for alarm. We greatly value our uptime and service availability–how could we move our equipment and not interrupt our service to our customers? We worked through many different scenarios, but decided to stay with the Quality Tech., because every other option involved a total computational transplant as well.

After that, we were busy orchestrating a careful dance of equipment that would impact our customers as little as possible. With the exception of our file upload service being out of commission for a bit, we were able to pull off the move with no measurable downtime in our service.

The Good News: Our site and services are now more robust and more stable than ever.

The Other Good News: Now that the move is over, we’re back to working on more exciting improvements for admail. In 2008, we’ll be polishing off many features of the site, including Email Builder.  There’s also going to be some extremely boring changes made to our database that will allow for AccuTrak to report your statistics in many different ways.

So stick around as we continue to move on!

New York - The Metropolitan Opera Guild selected Admail.net as their mass email delivery system last week; also new to Admail’s list of clients The Ocean County Public Library of New Jersey.

As President of List Media, the parent corporation of Admail, I want to thank all of our long term clients for their continued confidence and support. I especially want thank all of our clients both past and present for being part of our 12 successful years as the leading provider in mass email management and delivery!

Happy Holidays!

While we were creating Email Builder, we realized that there were issues when running on Apple’s Safari web browser. Overall, things worked, but the editing environment was limited (e.g. no bold, no italics, no formatting at all!) and when large templates were loaded, it encountered an error and Email Builder would cease functioning.

While looking to solve these problems, we found that Apple was developing a new version of WebKit (the underlying technology of Safari), that would fix everything. Because Mac users can also run Firefox, we decided to get Email Builder launched and wait for the new version of Safari.

Well, that day is here! If you’ve upgraded to Leopard, you’re already running Safari 3.0. If you’re still running Tiger (10.4), check your software updates–you’ll find 10.4.11 ready for you and it includes Safari 3.0. Users running older versions of Mac OS X will still need to utilize Firefox.

Initial tests seem to show that everything works as expected. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, please let us know!
