Dispatch Documentation

M Media Dispatch is a self-hosted email marketing system for WordPress — campaigns, subscribers, SMTP, and safety-first throttled sending, without handing your list to a third-party platform.

Use it to run newsletters and email campaigns directly from your WordPress admin, with compliance tools (double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe, CAN-SPAM footer) and deliverability-friendly sending controls.

What you’ll do with Dispatch

  • Build campaigns using Template Mode, Visual Builder, or Raw HTML
  • Collect subscribers using a shortcode form with double opt-in protection
  • Send safely with rate limits, queueing, pause/resume, and retries
  • Configure SMTP inside Dispatch (no extra SMTP plugin required)
  • Stay compliant with one-click unsubscribe and CAN-SPAM details

Built by People Who Actually Use the Software

M Media software isn't venture-funded, trend-chasing, or built to look good in pitch decks. It's built by developers who run their own servers, ship their own products, and rely on these tools every day.

That means fewer abstractions, fewer dependencies, and fewer "coming soon" promises. Our software exists because we needed it to exist — to automate real work, solve real problems, and keep systems running without babysitting.

We build software the way it used to be built: practical, durable, and accountable. If a feature doesn't save time, reduce friction, or make something more reliable, it doesn't ship.

✓ Every feature solves a problem we actually had
✓ No investor timelines forcing half-baked releases
✓ Updates add value, not just version numbers
✓ Documentation written by people who got stuck first

This is software designed to stay installed — not be replaced next quarter.

No Bloat. No Spyware. No Nonsense.

Modern software has become surveillance dressed as convenience. Every click tracked, every behavior analyzed, every action monetized. M Media software doesn't play that game.

Our apps don't phone home, don't collect telemetry, and don't require accounts for features that should work offline. No analytics dashboards measuring your "engagement." No A/B tests optimizing how long you stay trapped in the interface.

We build tools, not attention traps.

The code does what it says on the tin — nothing more, nothing less. No hidden services running in the background. No dependencies on third-party APIs that might disappear tomorrow. No frameworks that require 500MB of node_modules to display a button.

✓ Your data stays on your device
✓ No "anonymous" usage statistics
✓ Minimal dependencies, fewer risks
✓ Respects CPU, RAM, and battery
