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).
You can create sending profiles by selecting File > Options, Sending, Edit Sending Profiles. Also a Profile selector can be displayed when sending messages by enabling the relevant setting in "Other Sending Options".
Each sending profile can use one of the following sending methods (new users should review our recommendations):
Generally used when integrating MailList King with an e-mail program other than Outlook (such as Outlook Express, Windows Mail or Eudora). MailList King uses MAPI to send via your default e-mail software is used (you can change the default by going into the Windows Control Panel, selecting the Internet Icon, Programs tab and changing the setting for the E-mail Software)
Advantages: Does not require configuration
Disadvantages:
Does not support rich text (HTML) e-mail
Integrates MLK with Outlook (not Outlook Express). Your messages are sent directly from the Outlook "Outbox" folder
Advantages: Does not require configuration
Disadvantages: Only works with Outlook
Communicates directly with a SMTP server for sending of your messages. You will need to specify your SMTP server settings.
This is the fastest sending option, particularly if you enable multiple connections.
Business and Corporate Editions Only: For even faster throughput you can specify multiple SMTP servers so that a different server is used for each connection thread (has no effect if the multiple sending connections option is not used). Specify the servers by separating them with a comma, e.g. smtp.host1.com,smtp.host2.com,smtp.host3.com. If the servers have different login details separate them with a comma too, e.g. LoginHost1,LoginHost2,-
Advantages: Fast! Particularly when using multiple connection threads and multiple servers
Disadvantages:
Need to specify your SMTP settings
Use MailList King's internal SMTP server to send messages directly to your recipients so that you do not need to use the server of your company or ISP.
Advantages: Avoids use of the mail server of your ISP or company.
Disadvantages: Only available in the registered version. You may need to check that your ISP and firewall do not block usage of a local mail server.
If you are not technically minded or just getting started with MailList King then you should use the Outlook or "Default Email Software" sending method as they do not require any configuration.
If you need to avoid using your ISP's mail server (e.g. because of your usage policy preventing the sending of commercial e-mails) then you should use the Internal SMTP Server.
If your main priority is speed, then send via standard SMTP (using multiple sending threads if your mail server supports it).
