So much simpler than having to hire someone to do it for us\! > > **Cons**: Being able to send emails on behalf of a someone else without the Magazine Manager unsubscribe footer. While I understand the reason why this is a new feature and complies with emailing standards, it limits our use of having someone else help out our busy salesperson. > > This is a dedicated company.

It comes with plenty of default operations and devices to help the publishing process, but Mirabel Technologies, the parent company, is happy to create other functions for your benefit.
