List Servers- Faq

Q: How do i sent a message to my mailing list?

A:To send a message to your mailing list, all you have to do is send a message with the following three lines of text at the begining of the message.

command: send
user: your username
Password: Your Password


Q: How do I add someone to my Mailing List?

A: To add someone to your Mailing list, Simply ask the person to e-mail your List Server address with the word "add" in the subject. That's it. You don't have to waste time adding people yourself, it's all done by the list server so you don't have to worry about it!


Q: How do I remove someone from my Mailing List?

A: To remove someone from your Mailing list, Simply ask the person to e-mail your List Server address with the word "remove" in the subject. That's it. You don't have to waste time removing people yourself, it's all done by the list server so you don't have to worry about it!


Q: I want to put something on my site so people can sign up for my mailing list, what do i do?

A: It's simple, just put a mailto link on the site in the following format:
mailto:listservername@MDMall.com?subject=add
When the send mail window pops up all they have to do is click send and their done! No typing, no wasting time, and no need for confirmation messages since they are sending it from they're e-mail account. It's that simple!


Q: Okay, I sent a message to my mailing list... Now what happens?

A: When you sent a message to your mailing list, the message is sent to each user Individually. When the list server has finished sending the message to everyone on your mailing list it sends a message to you telling you what happened, how many credits you have left, and a copy of the message you sent.


Q: What happens if I go over my monthly usage allowance?

A: If you exceed your monthly usage allowance, Your account will be billed for the additional messages and you will see a warning in the bottom of the send message report


Q: Does this list server support rich text (html) E-mail or multipart e-mail?

A: Yes. you don't have to worry about it. It's all done Automatically! Please note that not all e-mail programs are capable of reading richtext files (at this time- AOL can't) and that this more then doubles the size of the message, so it's recomended that you send the e-mail in plain text format


Q: What is a message Credit?

A: A message credit equals 20Kb- if you send a 20Kb message to 5 people, you use 5 message credits (5 * 20 = 100Kb), if you send a 10Kb message to 10 people, you still use only 5 message credits (10 * 10 = 100Kb) The size of the headers is currently included in the size of a message (Headers are approximately 700-800 bytes, or about 0.05 credits which makes up a trivial amount of extra cost, if any.)


Q: Are there any advertisments on the messages i sent?

A: No. The only extra thing that appears in the actual message is this, located at the bottom:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               This is an automated mailing list                                    
  To remove your name from this list, hit reply and type "remove" in the subject  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which can be disabled if you wish. (Please note that we may provide a free version of this service in the future, which WILL contain advertisments. But the paid version of the list server will never contain any advertisements, unless you choose to put your own in)


Q: What happens if a user tries to add himself more then once?

A: When an add command is given, the list server first attempts to remove the e-mail address from the mailing list. This prevents any possibility of an e-mail address being in the mailing list more then once.


Q: I'm getting more then one copy of a message. What do i do?

A:Your probably have more then one e-mail address, and the list server is sending a copy to each one. Forward the letters to the list server with a blank subject and ask to be removed manually.)


Q: how do i find out how many credits i have left?

A: Send the following message to your list server address:

command: credits
user: your username
Password: Your Password

The list server will respond with an e-mail containing the information.
