Please include your name and contact information in your email.
Features and Benefits
- Convenient way to email a group.
- Helps prevent mailings from being classified as Spam or Junk Mail.
- Identity (email addresses) of the list members is confidential, only the recipient's name is revealed.
- Email lists and member contacts are easy to update and maintain.
Administrators
Once the group has been created, sending emails to a group is easy. Simply go to your email program, type the listname@domain-name.com, add your message, and send it. After the waiting period, the messages are mailed out in a small group to avoid being filtered as spam.
Subscribers (Members of the Group)
Members can send a message to the group by addressing the email to the name of the group, such as listname@domain-name.com.
Subscribing and Unsubscribing
The 'To' field must be addressed to imailsrv@domain-name.com, ex: imailsrv@etczone.com.
To Subscribe: Leave the subject line blank and in the body of the email, enter Subscribe List Name First Name Last Name, Subscribe test John Doe.
