Configuration of LIST service via Web Administration is simple. LIST service is often used for newsletter service.

Email Subscription and Unsubscription

People just need to send an email with subscription or unsubscription keywords in the email subject, then his/her email address will be added/removed from the mailing list. EmailArchitect LIST Service uses the Challenge Response technology to prevent other people subscribe an email address to the mailing list without approval of the email address's owner.

Web Subscription and Unsubscription

In the "EmailArchitect Email Server installation folder\webaccess\additional\" folder, there are two files named "subscribe.asp" and "unsubscribe.asp", administrator can set it for people to subscribe or unsubscribe the mailing list through web interface instead of sending email.

Manually Approval

A there may be many email addresses in a mailing list, unauthorized email to this mailing list would cause all subscribers receiving unwanted message. System administrator can use Message Approval function to authorize every e-ail to the mailing list to prevent junk & virus emails.
