Field

Description

Set recipient To: header

When a message is sent to a mailing list, the To: header will contain the address of the mailing list itself.

Checking this option will cause the To: header of each message to be modified to contain the actual address of the recipient.

Add to Subject

This prefixes the Subject: header with the specified string.

If the text is already present it does not duplicate it.

If a Subject: header is not present it is created.

Edit headers

You can add any number of custom headers to the message.

System variables can be used here.

This field is limited in size, so if you need to add many headers you should use a file to specify the headers to add, like this:

• Enter %%include <FileName>%% in the Add headers: text area, where <FileName> is a fully qualified path to the file.
• Create the file specified, as a simple text file, and add the headers you wish to add to messages.

NOTE: Some systems (like Hotmail) dislike receiving messages from a list where the FROM header is one their customer's address, however, message was not sent through recipient's (Hotmail in this case) mail server's SMTP. One solution is to change the FROM to something static and define for example Subject: %%subject%% - sent by %%sender_email%% within the Edit headers field.

This keeps the original subject that the user has typed and add the actual sender next to it.

Originator

This is an advanced SMTP option. You can specify the exact content of the SMTP MAIL FROM command.

The possible options are:

Blank - the MAIL FROM command offers an empty field.

Sender - the Sender's address is used.

Owner - the List Owner's address is used.

NOTES:

If the Blank option is selected (the default) some email servers might reject the message.

When you choose the Sender or Owner all bounce backs of failed messages will be sent to that email address.

Header / Footer

A dialog is opened where you can specify text and html files (for text and html messages respectively) that will be inserted at the start and end of all messages sent through the mailing list.

You should always specify a fully qualified path to the file.

NOTE: HTML files should only contain HTML BODY content (without the BODY tags).
