How many times each person has viewed the email When the email was viewed compared to when it was sent How many times the perspective followed links from within the email. Determining non html client by positive link following without positive viewing. Broken emails based on bounce backs to a group based email account (for monitoring by a person as well as Webcat) And more. Of course, the power of the system will be the undefined querying system on the front end that allows the admin to custom build 'lists' and generate individual customized emails. This will include things like standard demographic information as well as dynamic mail delivery/failure/activity information.While there has been much debate on this list about the value/intelligence of a Webcat based email system, it is my opinion that smaller based systems (in raw email propagation .. < 10,000 per day) can benefit from the nearly infinite versatility of a powerful front-end db system such as Webcat. Lol... I see if got off track.Start with a reply to address that saves emails in a text file format. Use webcat to watch for file based on triggers and then get ready from some tricky logics in scanning the file looking for failures. Alex (procrastination time is over...
