sent to remote list and still shows unsent?

[chitown]

i sent to a remote list. the recipients tab shows all sent. this is expected.

i then grabbed another remote list and sent to it.

when i went back to the original remote list, all show unsent. this is not what i expected.

as new users get added to a remote list i want to be able to send to only the new ones. but if original sends on a remote list are not saved, how can i do this?

in other words the remote lists are fresh every time, but should not be if a email was already sent to them.

i have many separate remote lists i am managing and need to be able to manage who has received an email and who hasn't.

please advise.

Yes, this is how it works, the delivery status is only saved in documents.

so I should use local lists when I want to keep track of sends? i guess i am missing the benefit of remote lists, other than unsubscribes?

No, sent status is *never* saved to lists (hopefully). When you select a list either local or remote, you load a list with all statuses set to 'Unset'. If you want to save statuses just save the document itself. A document will keep the status of each recipient. A delivery status belongs to a document, not to a list.
