You can manage mailing lists by selecting "Mailing Lists" on the Navigation Menu. In the current version of ControlPoint, Mailing Lists are really address books you can manage for your convenience. You may use Mailing Lists to organize your customers' email addresses into groupings specific to a purpose, then use those groupings as recipients for messages you send within ControlPoint. These groupings are only known to ControlPoint, they are not recognized as email aliases that others can send to.

Please select "Mailing Lists" on the Navigation Menu, the main Mailing Lists Screen allows gives you a quick summary of existing lists, as well as the ability to add new ones, or manage existing lists.

If this is the first time visiting this screen, you will have no mailing lists defined, and the table will contain no entries.

Adding a New Mailing List
You may add new mailing list by selecting the "Add a New Mailing List" button located in the upper right of the Work Area.

List Information
Begin by entering in a name and description for the list.
List Recipients
Next, enter in destination email addresses associated with this list. You may enter as many addresses as you wish. You may use your computer's cut-and-paste facility to make this easier. You may also enter multiple addresses on one line, as long as they are separated by spaces or commas.

IMPORTANT: Each address must be fully qualified, i.e. user@domain. Local addresses without a domain name will not be accepted.

After you have entered in all the information, click on the "Add List" button at the bottom of the Work Area. You should now see your new list on the main Mailing List Screen. To create you message click on the text description of you mailing list. This will allow you to modify and create the email message.

You may edit a mailing list simply by clicking on its name under the "List Name" column. Notice that the Modify Mailing List Screen is very similar in function to the Add Mailing List screen

From this screen you may add new email addresses following the same guidelines described above in "Adding a New Mailing List".

Deleting an Existing Mailing List
