Your autoresponders require people to send an email to certain addresses to get the information. Well, how would you like to have a form on your website where your visitors select the information titles they want. When they click the button, the information is send straight from your autoresponders. Your form can list a few information titles and be narrow enough to fit into your navigation area. Or it can have a large list of titles on a page by itself. It doesn't matter how many or how few, Master Info Relay will relay each request to the correct autoresponder. (Don't have autoresponders? Some hosting companies provide them as part of hosting packages. Also, free and commercial services exist. Here are several: http://www.sendfree.com/This is not an article about marketing. However, let me mention that autoresponders are a part of many e-business marketing strategies.) Master Info Relay is for Unix and Linux servers with qmail or sendmail. You need two things. A script and at least one form. Both are easy. Both are part of the Master Info Relay package. Once you own a copy, you are entitled to generate as many forms as you want, whenever you want. Just copy and paste. You can also generate a new copy of the script whenever your email address or server settings change. Yes, it's easy. Just fill out two forms; one form to generate the script and the other to generate your "copy and paste" autoresponder forms. When you get the Master Info Relay script, don't change it. Just upload it as is. (Instructions come with it.) Master Info Relay is a commercial program retailing for US$9.95. However, it is FREE to WillMaster Possibilities subscribers until February 22, 2000. Go to http://willmaster.com/master/inforelay/ then click "Generate the program" and use special code: WMP27 The special code is good only until February 22, 2000. Once you generate a copy for your domain, the domain name is all that is required to get updates -- it acts as your password. If you move to another hosting company or your settings change for other reasons, just generate another copy. Forms are easy, too. Go to http://willmaster.com/master/inforelay/ and click "Generate a form". List your information titles and their autoresponder addresses. Then click the button. Presto! Just copy and paste the generated form into your pages. Make different forms for different sections of your site. Whenever your information or autoresponders change, generate another form. Make as many forms as you like. Happy autoresponding. Copyright 2000 by William Bontrager
