Create Mailing List(s) in SmarterMail
Setting up a basic mailing list

Log into the administrator email account at http://mail.yourdomainname.com.
Under "Domain Settings", go to "Mailing Lists".
A new page will load display all currently created mailing lists. To create a new mailing list, click "New List".
Under "List Settings", you will want to set the following options:
- 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.
Under "Options", you want to enable/disable the following option(s):
- Reply to List: When users reply to messages sent through the mailing list, if enabled their reply will go to the entire mailing list subscribers.
If you are using the header/footer option(s), you can set the text under "Header/Footer".
Once you have set the associated options, hit "Save."
Now to add email addresses to the newly created mailing list, go to "Actions" under the mailing list's name (in our example, "examplemailinglist"), and select "List Subscribers."
A new page should load, titled "Subscriber List Management." Click on "Add Addresses."
Now add the new address listings; one email per line. Once done, hit "Ok."
The new subscribers should be successfully added, thus completing setting up the basics for a mailing list. For any questions, you can contact us or read SmarterTool's SmarterMail Help section.
