stops working after verifying just a few emails. Freezes up. I have restarted my machine and I have updated the software to it's newest version. This is very disappointing.

You should contact the support here: https://helpdesk.maxprog.com and ask them to check your settings, maybe you are not using the right DNS servers or maybe your internet service provider is blocking port 25.

All Maxprog web pages have a chat widget with a real person answering questions. In addition, we have a support system on that same widget and here: http://help.maxprog.com/
You did use our support, I talked with you, you never responded to my last message asking you to explain how you were proceeding. You never answered.
You wanted a phone call and I told you our support is thru eMail and chat.
By the way, eMail Extractor is a quite straightforward application. You just have to drop your Text, PDF, Word, Excel, or RTF file over the application, select an output file name, and you are done.

- If you purchased from us you can ask for a refund here: https://refund.maxprog.com
- If you purchased from Apple you can get it here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
- If you purchased from FastSpring you can get it here: https://fastspring.com/question-a-charge/
Once you ask for a refund you have to wait for it to be processed, it is not instantaneous.

Return to iCash…
Come back to iCash after leaving it for a competitor. Pleasantly surprised to see the differences since 2018.

MBM ok, mlm and support: the opposite
If you want to use MBM with mlm, a PHP script to manage subsriptions on your Website and synchronize them with MBM, at least find and download the standalone version and fix all errors by yourself, as the script bundled with the mac download has not been updated to the fixed version and contains a flaw which does prevent it from using SMTP. Version 3.2.0 contains a typo. Although I had to find the error by myself and reported it 2 weeks ago, the mac download as of today has not been updated and support didn't even react verbally on that report. The standalone version 3.2.1 states it to be fixed since 2019-11-29, which as of today is more than six months ago.
Test mlm thoroughly before buying MBM, as support comes in the form of not reading messages, "mlm is a free script", "I don't know" and "why should I answer, if I don't know?" and that's about the end of it. No questions more than asking for screenshots, no info about system requirements. Have a look at the style of support in the forums for it and you'll see what I mean.
But as if this weren't enough, add a hint on the website to set register_globals to "on" in order to circumvent problems with the script, which in terms of security has been known as irresponsible for years. The script contains undeclared variables.
Knowing all of the above beforehand would have prevented 2 people spending several hours trying to find and fix errors and getting useful or even just interested, friendly and timely answers from support.
2 points, because of the easy refund and because MBM in itself seems to work good as a standalone solution. Its interface could be a bit less 2002, though.
I hope I could prevent my emotions from influencing this report and it is of help for others in search of a toolset for mailing list management.
---------------
UPDATE 2 weeks after my initial review:
Concerning the reply: qed (= not addressing any problems mentioned in the review).
The Mac software package still has not been updated with mlm 3.2.1. I just cannot understand why a developer does not care about delivering software with known and already fixed bugs frustrating his potential customers. I can come up with many good and bad explanations for such behaviour. MBM is a useful software, just be warned that if you need to integrate subscriber management on your website and/or need to use SMTP for sending mails, you're on your own. My advice is: get the fixed standalone download of mlm and check it thoroughly. Do not set REGISTER_GLOBALS to ON, as is suggested in the FAQ.
UPDATE 3
The point is that I have neither been bombarded with questions (but with unrelated tutorial videos) nor have I received a reply on the mail with the screenshots until I asked for it some days later. Then the answer was the question, why you should answer at all, if you didn't have any idea.
Sorry, but there's been more than one strange moments in our communication. Not a single one of your messages addressed the questions asked or provided any helpful hints, e.g. about system requirements or that there already is a fixed version of the script or whatever.
Enough with that. Have a nice day and happy clients from now on.

Sorry if MLM did not work for you. And sorry for the typo, I found it last month actually, a wrong PEAR variable assignment.
Anyway, I also did a Live a few weeks ago explaining how to install MLM and how to get it to work. It was a live broadcast but the recording is available on VIMEO here: https://vimeo.com/422380776
I will try to shot more videos if I have more time.
UPDATE 2
Sorry, I actually did release 3.2.2 on June, 3 but silently.
It is available here: https://www.maxprog.com/goodies/mlm_pro_php.zip
It will be part of MaxBulk Mailer 8.7.3 when released, that will be soon. I usually update both at the same time but MaxBulk Mailer new version is late, the version history (below) already reflects the MLM update at the bottom.
I fixed the PEAR typo and a problem that causes downloading stats from the MaxBulk Mailer statistics window to fail. This is a nasty problem I had great difficulties to fix and it looks like it comes from more strict versions of the PHP interpreters.
[New] Gmail OAuth2 authentication scheme support.
[New] Markdown format is now supported. MaxBulk Mailer follows the 0.29 specification
[New] Base64 Encoding function: {Encode Base64:TEXT_OR_TAG}. Encode text/tag into Base64.
[New] Rot13 Encoding function: {Encode Rot13:TEXT_OR_TAG}. Encode text/tag into Rot13.
[New] Mask function: {Encode Mask:TEXT_OR_TAG_HERE. Mask all the text/tag with *.
[New] Hex Encoding function: {Encode Hex:TEXT_OR_TAG_HERE}. Encode text/tag into hexadecimal.
[New] URL Encoding function: {Encode URL:URL_OR_TAG_HERE}. Encode URL parameters.
[Fix] The HTML editor again supports file drops.
[Fix] MLM 3.2.2 with several bug fixes.
Believe me, I work really hard on that product and when you report a problem and I don't know where it comes from I have to bombard you with questions. I know you did not like it and filled like I was unhelpful. I also asked you not to waste your time writing that much but to answer my questions with short answers and screenshots.
By the way, reporting a problem is explained here:
https://www.maxprog.com/site/support/admin-faq-us.php#bug-reporting
and a full Feature Request Board is being put in place so people will be able to ask for what they really want, upvote other user's requests, follow the outcome of each entry etc. The board is available here: https://www.maxprog.com/site/feedback/email-software.php
