Say Good-bye to the Designer Editor

After receiving feedback from many of you we have decided to take the designer editor down.  We have not been happy with the functionality and after a year of trying to repair it, it is time to move on.  As of April 5, the Designer Editor will not be available.

The recently launched Standard Editor has proven itself to be stable and robust and we know that it is a better overall platform for you.

If you have templates that were created in the Designer Editor (and you’ll know this by looking in your Custom Email/Template Library… look for an orange Designer tag) and want those re-created for use in the Standard Editor, please contact us.  We’re happy to do that at no charge.  Please contact us at support@churchpost.com to let us know to begin work.

More Public Templates Available

We were asked by a customer for template designs that celebrated the change of the seasons – hello spring!  We have added a few designs that reflect that idea.  Of course, you can always create more by using your own images but we were happy to add some for you.  Check them out by looking in the Custom Email >> My Templates library.

Welcome, Kim!

We are ushering in spring by welcoming a new team member.  Kim Tucker comes to us with extensive experience in both technology and serving the church.  A fantastic addition to our staff, she is jumping in with both feet.  We’ve told her how great our customers are… now you get to find out how great she is!

We know some of you have been missing the postcard templates that you had access to in Version 2.0.  The wait is over…

To access, hover over your CREATE button and choose Custom Email.  Click on the My Template Library button and you will see them under the heading of Public Templates just below your own My Template designs if you have any.

Don’t see something you’re looking for?  Let us know.  If we haven’t uploaded a design that you loved contact us and we’ll either put it up in the Public Library or load it in to your My Template section.

Thank you all for your great feedback and patience!

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) uses digital, cryptographic signatures, attaching information to a new header field in the message.

Since January, AOL, Yahoo and Google have been using DKIM to authenticate their inbound messages.

While authentication protocols like DKIM do not guarantee deliverability, they are a critical step to making sure your message gets through. So rest assured that your ChurchPost messages are being sent from mail servers that are monitored 24/7 and utilize the latest technology to ensure deliverability.

And because ISPs like AOL and others take into account BOTH IP-based reputation and domain based reputation, ChurchPost also utilizes SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authentication, so your recipients know they are reading messages from the IP/domain that it purports to be from.

For those interested, there is a fantastic white paper entitled “Trust in Email Begins with Authentication” available from the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group at:

Happy sending!

You can also reach this page via the Subscription Manager (clicking the “SureRemove” link in the footer):
