How does MLM get tracking statistics

This is the first time for me to get hands on MaxBulk Mailer Software and MLM. I successfully setup MLM with mysql database, and understand how the customer can subscribe and unsubscribe from the web interface. Based on the user interaction, MLM can easily get statistics about how many customers subscribe and how many customers unsubscribe. But I still don't understand how the customer click on a link in the email, and the MLM get the tracking statistics. Does the link for opening and tracking has to be a full URL to the lm.php file of MLM such that MLM can trace the opening and clicking? how does this happen? or any file placed on the apache web server? if it's a file on apache, how would MLM know that file be clicked or opened?

Just use the real links in your message. MaxBulk Mailer will use the MLM URL in the MaxBulk Mailer preferences to create the final URL, a forward.
