3. Setup Newsletter Take a look here (choose "Preferences" under the application menu): ![]() - Check images (HTML msgs) If you use this option, NewsLetter will check (before HTML messages are sent) if the image links in your code are valid or not (where "valid" means that they start with "http"). If it finds invalid images (eg, relative urls) it will prompt you to abort the process and fix these image tags. - Validate recipients If you use this option, NewsLetter will act as a filter for the recipients you add: it will skip invalid addresses (where "valid" means that they contain "@" and ".") and duplicate ones. Optionally, if it found invalid or duplicate mail addresses, will prompt you to save a copy of the filtered list, so you can use it later if you need it. - Single message, multiple BCC If you don't check this checkbox, NewsLetter will create a new message for every recipient of your list. This means that you can send a custom message for each recipient, which will own a singular subject, body and attachment. If you check this checkbox, NewsLetter will create a single message whose recipient will be you and whose BCC (blind carbon copy) recipients will be all the members of you recipient list. If you use this option, you can't "customize" the subject and body of messages (eg, you will use "Dear recipient" instead of "Dear Jean-Carlo"). Use this option if: • You don't need a custom subject or body for your message. • You will attach a "big" file (eg, 4 MB) for lots of recipients (eg, 200). - From The recipient/s of your message will see this email address as the return-path (or sender) of the message. This is a required field. - SMTP server This is your smtp provider. The server which will deliver your messages. You can use your own ISP service (eg, "smtp.mac.com" or "smtp.mail.yahoo.com") or even use your own smpt server (then, you must enable your built-in copy of "sendmail" if you know-how, and use "localhost" for this setting). If you don't know what is your SMTP server, take a look to your regular email account in your mail client (eg, Apple's Mail or Microsoft's Entourage). - Requires authentication If you must login into your smtp server with a login/password (most of smtp servers will require it), check this box and enter the required info. - User Enter here, if needed, your user name (login) for your smtp server. If you are confused, take a look to the configuration of your email client. - Password Enter here, if needed, your password for your smtp server. If you are confused, take a look to the configuration of your email client. |
