Mailing List Options
Important details
to consider when setting up a mailing list
in SmarterMail |
|
|
|
List Name: The email address the mailing list will use.
List Moderator: Set which user account will have moderator access.
Allow Posters: Options are "Moderator Only", "Subscribers", or "Anyone".
Set "Moderator Only" if you wish only the moderator(s) to be able to send
messages to the mailing list. Set to "Subscribers" if you wish for your
subscribers to send messages to the mailing list. Set to "Anyone" if you
wish for anyone to send to the mailing list.
Max Message Size: We recommend setting the size to under 10MB (10240KB).
Max Recipients/Message: This sets how many addresses are being sent per message process.
For example, if you have a mailing list of a 100 addresses and set the max to 25, SmarterMail
will send a message to all 100 addresses
in 4 batches of 25 addresses.

This setting does not set the limit of how many users are on or allowed on your mailing list;
just how many are sent at a time. You will want to set this limit to at max 50 as the higher
you sent the number, the more likely your mailing list messages and the mail server will be
marked as a potential spammer.
Optional settings you may want to set:
Description: Only for administrative use to keep track of what the mailing list is for.
List Password: For security, you can set your mailing list to have a password so that
only valid users will send messages to it.
Password would be sent through the subject line, e.g. "Subject: [:password:] Attention
all subscribers)".
Subject Prefix: If you want to enable a tag/header for all subject messages sent through
the mailing list, e.g. [MYMAILINGLIST] original-subject-text.
