CHAPTER SIX - Smart Lists

 

How to set up Mailing Lists
(1) Go to your Control Panel
(2) Click on the Mail Manager
(3) Create a list in Mail Manager by clicking on "New List".
(4) Add the name of the list. You'll get a message giving you instructions on how to subscribe to the list.
(5) After reading this click Home on the left hand side.
(6) Click on the name of the list and you'll see the following:

Maintainer email address:

Maintainer's password:

The maximum number of emails that can be stored in archive:

FYI: (maintainer = the e-mail of the person in charge of the list)
(password = the list password)
(Max # e-mails archived = the number of the most recent "back-issues" to be saved, and sent when someone requests the most recent e-mails sent to your mailing list.)

After you input and edit the maintainer information and click edit you will get the following message:

Now, modify '/home/delta/deltafarms-mail/test/rc.custom' file...
Done


This file doesn't need to be edited, it is just informing you that it has been edited.

Your list is now created.

 

How do I administer the list?
The Mailing List Manager (Xcommand), available from the Mail Manager (domainname.com/menu), allows the administrator of the list to:

Show List of Subscribers
Show List Log
Wipe List Log
Search list of subscribers for a near match
Directly subscribe/unsubscribe a user

You can get to the Mailing List Manager by selecting the list from under 'Edit List' in the Mail Manager, then selecting 'Mailing List Manager'.

You will need to know the Maintainer email and password to administer the list. The results of the commands will be sent to the list maintainer's email address.
