I have just purchased the MBM bundle and sent my first mailing. I have some questions that span across a few of the products, mainly centered around MLM.
First, everything is set up and seems to be working properly. I have entered my activation key into all the products.
My mailing was done to several "remote" lists. MBM sent out all the emails as expected. eMail Bounce Handler is catching the bounces. Unsubscribe is working. All good so far.
I now want to take the list of bounced emails from "eMail Bounce Handler" and remove the bad address from my lists. I understand the process of exporting a "DELETE" file and dragging that into MBM.
Here are my questions:
- The list of email addresses showing in MBM are all from remote files. Does that make a difference? Will the deletes automatically go to the remote file or do I need to use the "Upload to MLM" function?
-How is the above process affected by unsubscribes? My understanding is that the MLM unsubscribe process has already deleted entries from my remote list. However, I believe these names are still in the local MBM document (under Recipients" tab). If I "Upload to MLM" won't I overwrite the remote file and bring back the unsubscribed names?
- Once the deletes are saved to the remote file, I would like to save a local copy of my list(s). MBM does not have a download from MLM function. Is this something I need to do manually via FTP?
- eMail Bounce Handler has a "Remote Lists" section in the Misc. prefs window. I filled in my information. What does this do/how do I use it? The manual omits any mention of this.
Thanks.
Joe
