Maintaining Mailing Lists
If you wish to deliver offers and promotions to your customers, run a newsletter, or
inform visitors of your site of recent updates, you should set up a mailing list on your
site and subscribe your users to it or invite them to subscribe themselves.
Mailing list is a convenient way to reach a number of readers at once: it contains a list
of subscribers‘ e-mail addresses, which are combined under a single e-mail address, to
which you post your information or a newsletter. Mailing lists are provided by the GNU
Mailman software, which may or may not be installed on your server.
To make sure that you can use mailing lists, contact your provider or look it up in the
control panel: go to Home > Mail, click the Mailing lists tab, and see if there is an Add New
Mailing list icon displayed in color.
