A little help.
More control.

MediaAutoresponder is self-hosted email marketing software for managing Subscribers, Lists, Forms, Contact Forms, Newsletters, Autoresponders and operational Reports. You install it on your own compatible hosting and use your own licensed domain.

The Founding Edition is $27 one-time for one domain. You permanently retain the right to use the licensed software version you purchase. No monthly software subscription is required.

You supply your own compatible hosting and SMTP account or provider. Those services may have separate charges and sending limits. The software purchase does not include hosting or unlimited email delivery.

Your purchased licensed version continues working. Optional maintenance provides ongoing updates, new releases, support and Member benefits according to the maintenance terms. Its expiration does not disable the version you purchased.

The base license covers one domain. Founding pricing also includes an additional domain at $7, a 5-domain pack at $49, a 10-domain pack at $69, and a 25-domain pack at $119. Domain activation details will be published before sales launch.

Pricing is subject to change. Check the current offer before placing an order.

Compatible PHP hosting, a MySQL-compatible database, outbound access to your SMTP provider, and cron support for background sending. Exact supported PHP and database versions will be published after installer validation.

Shared or cPanel hosting may work if it meets the final requirements and permits cron jobs and outbound SMTP. A VPS gives you greater control but is not automatically required. Confirm your host’s limits before purchasing.

A cron job is a task your host runs on a schedule. It starts the background worker that processes queued and scheduled emails. Leaving your browser open is not a replacement for this task.

The worker processes eligible messages when it runs. Your hosting provider’s cron interval, queue size and sending limits can affect when processing begins. SMTP acceptance and inbox arrival are separate events.

Use the domain authorized by your license and follow the release installation guide. The final folder layout and installer steps are still being validated; we will publish them here before launch.

SMTP is the service the software connects to when sending email. You provide an SMTP account with your host or an email sending provider, together with its server, port, authentication and encryption settings.

The launch installer is planned to include connection and test-email checks. The application supports authenticated SMTP. Final setup instructions will be published when installer validation is complete.

No. SMTP Accepted means the receiving SMTP service accepted the message for processing. It does not prove inbox delivery, exclude later bounces, or confirm that someone read the email.

A Subscriber is a person recorded in your email marketing database. A List groups Subscribers for a purpose, such as newsletter updates or an Autoresponder. Current subscriber status and consent affect sending eligibility.

Single Opt-In allows a valid subscription to proceed without requiring a separate confirmation-email click, according to the Form settings and subscriber rules.

Double Opt-In asks the person to confirm their signup through a confirmation email. Pending Confirmation means that confirmation has not yet been completed; the record is not treated as a confirmed marketing signup.

A Contact Form lets visitors send an inquiry. It can also offer a separate, optional marketing signup. Sending an inquiry alone does not automatically give permission to send marketing email.

Yes. Keep marketing signup optional and distinct from submitting the inquiry. The associated signup follows the configured consent and confirmation rules.

A Newsletter is an email prepared for a selected audience and queued for immediate or scheduled sending. The background worker checks current subscriber eligibility before attempting delivery.

An Autoresponder is a sequence of emails that follows its configured timing and enrollment rules, such as a welcome series for eligible subscribers joining a List.

The Enrollment List is the selected List whose eligible new members can enter the associated Autoresponder while it is active, according to the software’s enrollment rules.

Queued: the record is waiting for background processing. Skipped: the software did not attempt sending because a current eligibility or processing rule prevented it. Failed: an attempted operation encountered an error. Review the persisted reason in the corresponding report.

A subscriber may have unsubscribed or otherwise become ineligible before sending. Preparing a send does not override current consent or subscriber status. The report shows the recorded reason for the particular outcome.

Reports summarize recorded activity and operational outcomes. SMTP Accepted is an acceptance outcome, not verified inbox delivery. Newsletter and Autoresponder report cards can lead to the persisted records and reasons behind outcomes.

Open the relevant Newsletter or Autoresponder report and use its actionable outcome cards or record details to inspect the stored result and reason.

Form reporting describes the activity recorded by the software. The exact view-counting rules and conversion formula will be documented here after final report validation. Do not assume a Form View means a unique person.

Founding single-domain maintenance is $24 per year. It covers eligible updates, new releases, support and Member benefits under the published maintenance terms. It is optional and does not control continued use of your purchased version.

Use the Contact page. Include the page or installation step, what you expected, what happened, and any error text with sensitive values removed. You may include an order reference. Never send passwords, SMTP credentials, or a full license key.
