<p>The Mailings menu allows you to mail and manage the messages
|
||
|
|
that you've configured to send to specific lists. You can
|
||
|
|
organize your mailings in folders or search for specific
|
||
|
|
ones. You can also view and manage your users' mailings
|
||
|
|
just as you would your own. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
are also able to send specific mailings in shell. Pass the following,
|
||
|
|
replacing "mailing_id" with the numeric ID of the desired mailing:<br><br>
|
||
|
|
<b>./sendmailing --id=mailing_id</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Whenever you are viewing the Mailings menu, a small folder
|
||
|
|
menu will be displayed in the top-left corner of the admin
|
||
|
|
panel. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Three folders, "Queued Mailings", "Sent Items" and "Deleted
|
||
|
|
Items" appear by default. Clicking a folder's name will
|
||
|
|
display the mailings it contains. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-
|
||
|
|
Sub-folders can be created in the "Sent Items" folder by entering a
|
||
|
|
name in the field provided and selecting in the drop-down menu which
|
||
|
|
folder the sub-folder should appear in. Click "Add" to create a new
|
||
|
|
folder. Sent mailings can be moved from folder to folder (within the
|
||
|
|
main Sent folder). While viewing sent mailings, click the checkboxes
|
||
|
|
beside the desired mailings, select a destination folder from the
|
||
|
|
drop-down menu below the list of mailings, and click "Move".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Sub-folders can be modified or deleted. Click on the
|
||
|
|
desired sub-folder's name, change its name in the field
|
||
|
|
provided and click "Update", or click the "Delete" button.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="helptitle">Mailings</span><br>

|
|
The mailings menu displays records of your mailings, providing
|
||
|
|
the ID, subject, and number of subscribers who will receive
|
||
|
|
the mailings. Mailings in the "Queued Mailings" are displayed
|
||
|
|
by default. If a mailing contains an attachment, this will
|
||
|
|
be indicated by the paperclip column to the left of the
|
||
|
|
mailing's Subject. This list can be sorted by ID or by creation
|
||
|
|
date in ascending or descending order by clicking on the
|
||
|
|
desired heading. Clicking on a mailing's subject will display
|
||
|
|
details about that particular mailing, such as the From,
|
||
|
|
Reply To and Return-path email addresses. The number of
|
||
|
|
subscribers the mailing will be sent to is also displayed
|
||
|
|
on this details page; click the number of subscribers to
|
||
|
|
see a list of their email addresses. <br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
- To send mailings to the lists of subscribers they are configured to
|
||
|
|
be sent to, click the checkboxes beside the desired mailings (click the
|
||
|
|
checkbox at the top of the menu to select all mailings) and click the
|
||
|
|
"Start Mailings" button. Note that by default all mailings are
|
||
|
|
selected; you will have to uncheck the boxes beside mailings you do not
|
||
|
|
wish to send. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- To cancel mailings,
|
||
|
|
click the checkboxes beside the desired mailings (click the checkbox at
|
||
|
|
the top of the menu to select all mailings) and click the "Cancel
|
||
|
|
Mailings" button. Note that by default all mailings are selected; you
|
||
|
|
will have to uncheck the boxes beside mailings you do not wish to
|
||
|
|
cancel. </p>

|
||
|
|
Clicking the "Find Mailing" link will display a form allowing
|
||
|
|
you to search for specific mailings. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Enter values for the mailings you are searching for (Subject,
|
||
|
|
From Name, etc.), and define your search parameters in the
|
||
|
|
bottom section of the form. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- You can define the maximum number of mailings you want
|
||
|
|
the search to display in the "Maximum Hits" field. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- If the "Match Any" box is checked the search will return
|
||
|
|
all mailings containing any of the search criteria entered
|
||
|
|
in the search form. For example, a "Match Any" search for
|
||
|
|
mailings with "2" in the Mailing ID field and "admin" in
|
||
|
|
the Users Email field would return all mailings which contain
|
||
|
|
"2" in the Mailing ID field, even if they did not contain
|
||
|
|
"admin" in the Users Email field. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Enter words that will be searched for in all fields in
|
||
|
|
the "Keyword Search" field. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- The "Sort By" drop-down menus allow you to select whether
|
||
|
|
to sort the search results by mailing ID or subject date,
|
||
|
|
and whether to sort the results in ascending or descending
|
||
|
|
order. </p>

||
|

<p><span class="helptitle"><a name="check_bounced">Check Bounced</a></span><br>
|

|
|
Clicking the "Check Bounced" link will display a menu allowing you to
|
||
|
|
login to a remote email account and manage emails sent by Gossamer List
|
||
|
|
that were bounced. Gossamer Mail will search the POP account you
|
||
|
|
specify for emails sent by Gossamer Mail and identify any bounced
|
||
|
|
mails; the email address that bounced the mail will be identified and
|
||
|
|
the matching subscriber record will be marked as bounced.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Enter the remote server name and port entered in the
|
||
|
|
fields provided. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- The "Account name" field should contain the same email
|
||
|
|
address specified in the "Bounce Email" field in your Account
|
||
|
|
menu. Enter that address' "Password" in the field provided.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-
|
||
|
|
You have the option to automatically "Delete bounced emails". If this
|
||
|
|
box is checked, all bounced Gossamer List emails will be deleted from
|
||
|
|
the POP account when you login to it; bounced email addresses will not
|
||
|
|
be removed from your Gossamer List lists, to do this go to the
|
||
|
|
"Subscribers" section of the "Lists" menu.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-
|
||
|
|
Checking the "Remember Settings" box will save your account
|
||
|
|
information, so you will be able to instantly login to the same account
|
||
|
|
the next time you open the "Check Bounced" menu. </p><p>- Click the "Check Bounced Emails" button to view your
|
||
|
|
bounced emails. These emails can be viewed and managed in
|
||
|
|
the same way as your regular sent or queued mailings. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>-<b>Note:</b>
|
||
|
|
If the number of messages in the POP account exceeds the number defined
|
||
|
|
in the max_bounced_emails setting in the Misc Setup menu, you should
|
||
|
|
check the account from shell. Use the following script: <br>
