Sending Profiles

Sending Profiles allow you to select a sending method, reply address and signature for delivery of your messages.  For simple sending requirements one profile may be enough, however advanced users may want to create multiple sending profiles for different requirements (e.g. to have different reply address for different groups or use a faster server for non-automated tasks).

Select a sending profile to specify the method, reply address and signature that is used when you send mail to your list (using "Home" > New Email).
 

Optionally specify an alternative sending profile for messages that MLK automatically sends, e.g. acknowledgements and forwarding of members' messages

 

How should messages be sent?

A single e-mail is used for every address you are sending to.  This may take quite a long time if you have a large mailing list depending on the speed of your Internet Connection, however it allows you to add personalization fields to each message (such as, Dear Richard).

Multiple addresses are added to each e-mail to make the delivery of your messages much quicker.  The addresses are placed in the BCC field, so that they are invisible to other recipients.

For the option "Maximum number of recipients per message" specify the number of recipients that should be added to each sent message.  It is recommended you use a value of no more than 49.  Many ISP's impose limits on the number of recipients per message (100 or 200 are the most common limits, but with 49 you are unlikely to have problems).

The "To Address" is the address that the recipient will see in the To field of messages they receive from your mailing list.  It looks more professional to specify an address rather than having a blank To field. For example, you might specify a generic address of your company, such as customerlist@mycompany.com which just goes to an unmonitored user account
