19. What advantages have ADR over other programs for mailing?

Unlike many other programs for mass mail sending, Advanced Direct Remailer has no built-in message editor. Contemporary mail programs are very complicated - they can create messages in HTML format, with sound, scripts, graphics, complex layouts; they support many languages and national encodings; they can encrypt messages using PGP or another system. ADR doesn't require from you to study a new system for creating messages - you already have software well familiar to you, where you have your address book, messages archive, properly configured encrypting system and your own message templates.

ADR supports two modes of sending - through provider (the usual mode) and directly to message recipient server. In both modes ADR sends mail multithreadly and work in several times faster than usual programs do. ADR can work through Socks5-proxy, and so you can transform ADR into stealth mailer.

ADR supports such mailing list formats as simple text, CSV files (Comma Separated Values), SQL-lists, created on fly during delivery using database SQL-request, and Windows Address Books (.WAB). All that together with flexible system of user message processing programs (plugins) gives you very powerful facilities - from the personified mailing to the merge delivery with database.

You can transform ADR into anything you wish.

20. How to setup an access to ADR from other computers?

You can send letters to ADR from any computer, because ADR has its own internal SMTP mail server. It's necessary to specify the addresses and the subnetworks from which the access to ADR mail server is allowed, in order that a hacker couldn't send a letter using your computer through Internet. Also, you can set username/password for access to internal SMTP server. How to do that is explained here.
