A container or envelope designed for sending items through the mail, or a person or company that sends out large quantities of mail. In computing, refers to email software.
From 'mail' (from Old French 'male' meaning bag or pouch) plus the agent suffix '-er'. The term emerged in the late 19th century with the expansion of postal services.
The evolution of 'mailer' perfectly tracks communication technology - from physical padded envelopes to bulk mail companies to email software, each era redefining what it means to be a 'mailer.' Norman Mailer, the famous author, coincidentally had the perfect surname for someone who sent messages to the masses through his writing.
