What do you want your listserver to do? Here arerepparttar 124434 basics!

It must send to at least 10,000 people. It must allow unlimited mailings. It must have automatic subscribe and remove functions. It must refuse multiple subscriptions ofrepparttar 124435 same email address. It must reject non valid email addresses in your list. It must generate subscription URL code for your webpage.
