How to Use the Blacklist Feature

Published on September 21, 2009 in Sendblaster and Tools. 0 Comments Tags: addresses blacklist, blacklist, domains blacklist, Sendblaster, subscription.

When a recipient requests to be unsubscribed, you should change his/her subscription state. SendbBlaster gives you a second chance: the “blacklist” feature.
Blacklist is a filter that prevents certain e-mail addresses or domains from receiving mails, independently from their subscription/activation state.

How does it work?
When you send a message to a given list, before each mail is actually sent, Sendblaster checks whether the recipient’s address or domain is included in the blacklist: if it is, that mail is skipped and a “blacklisted” message will be shown in the log panel.

You can setup two different blacklists:

Addresses blacklist: all these e-mail addresses will never receive a mass emailing
Domains blacklist: no address belonging to that domain will ever be sent a message.

Duplicate Emails? No, thanks!

Published on August 7, 2009 in General, Sendblaster and Tools. 2 Comments Tags: duplicate emails, Sendblaster.

It may happen to deal with big mailing lists that contain duplicate addresses.
Don’t worry! SendBlaster automatically searches for duplicates and fixes them.
And no action is required! Duplicates in the same mailing list are automatically filtered out when sending, even if you have disabled the Don’t add addresses when duplicated or already present in the list option during your import operations.
We consider it an extremely effective and hassle-free tool. You’ll never annoy your recipients with doubles and, of course, you may improve the performance of your campaigns…instantly!
