Working with mailings
Aurea List Manager uses mailings to send messages out to list members or segments.
Working with Mailings
To work with Mailings, In the left Navigation bar, click Mailings. You can:
- Create new mailings.
- Approve mailings.
- Check the mailing status for outgoing mailings, currently active mailings, completed mailings or mail queues.
- Create advanced mailings, both triggered and sequential.
- View the progress of any outgoing mailings.
- Send test mailings.
Before sending out your message, you can test your mailing to see how the message looks like, and schedule when you want the message to be sent. You may also purge recipients who have received other messages or send them to a sampling of your list or segment.
Use tracking to see if recipients open your message and if they can see messages in HTML. Later, you can see the the success of your message in Reports.
Once you have created mailings or received them via email, you may approve or delete them.
If you are moderating a discussion list where members submit mailings to the list, the Approval Wizard helps you work quickly as you approve and delete mailings in the order in which they were submitted. You also have the option of deleting mailings with feedback so contributors know why their mailing was rejected. The Approval Summary shows you if any of your lists have mailings waiting to be approved.
All of your mailings, whether completed or being sent, may also be viewed in Mailings.
Note for those upgrading from ListManager 5.0
If you are using the Aurea List Manager Mailings menu to create mailings for your list, Aurea List Manager automatically sets Enable Scripting to Admins Only if previously disabled, and change the Scripting Level to Full. For more information about these settings, see Utilities: List Settings: For Programmers: Email Scripting.
