XSLT Custom Reporting
Using XSL stylesheets, you can now customize batch and account summary reports to be formatted in any XSLT output format, such as XML, HTML and plain text. Reports can also be configured for automated email delivery based on event triggers. An HTTP/S API is available for requesting any custom report remotely. Among other reporting triggers, clients can choose to receive weekly or monthly account activity reports by email.

Blackout Scheduling
A Delivery Blackout feature is now available to increase control over when email is delivered to a recipient's mailbox. With Delivery Blackout, you can suspend deliveries for defined ranges of time within a week, ensuring that mail will only arrive at certain hours of the day. Delivery Blackout is available through Delivery Profile Settings and can also be defined using the batch Instruction File "Blackout" key.

Secure Email Delivery
ePriority now offers a secure email delivery service. Clients must establish a password for each secure email recipient and provide this password to ePriority inside the standard batch instruction file. ePriority will then encrypt designated email attachments and deliver a self-contained password-protected attachment which can only be opened by the recipient when they type the corresponding password.

Secure FTPS Service
In parallel with the Secure Email Delivery feature described above, ePriority will now accepting secure FTP connections for safe delivery of email content and recipient passwords across the Internet. Secure FTP connectivity is provided as a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) over traditional FTP sessions. Choose your preferred FTPS capable FTP client and connect to ftp.epriority.com using the standard port. Clients may need to talk with their Network department to accomodate high return ports through their firewall.

Website Beacon Tracking
Beacon Tracking allows you to monitor traffic on your website coming from customers who received an email from ePriority with link tracking enabled. By inserting a small transparent HTML image (known as a "web bug") into any page(s) of your website, ePriority will recieve tracking information whenever the pages are viewed by an email recipient. Note that the email recipient does not need to link directly to a tagged page from an email; any visit to a tagged page after an email has been received will trigger Beacon Tracking. ePriority then returns the consolidated tracking information through its standard logs.

DNS Caching & Load Balancing
With Release 10, ePriority's outbound email delivery architecture will be faster and more efficient due to a secondary level of DNS cache resident on each outbound mail server. With this enhancement, ePriority software will be less dependent upon operating system functions and can therefor make more intelligent decisions about how DNS should be cached as it relates to email delivery.

Improved Batch Status Service
In preperation of disabling generation of our "PROC log", we have refined and simplified our Batch Status Service to provide automatable detail on batches. This service should be used by all clients who want to follow up on their batch submission to ensure processing failures are accounted for.

Improved Abort/Halt Control
Controls from ePriority.com now provide clients with the ability to halt or abort a batch at any stage of its life-cycle. A batch can be halted half-way through delivery or even redelivery of emails. Once halted, a batch can be aborted and all emails which have not yet been delivered will be logged with an abort failure code.
