Mailing lists and recipient types
The sub-menu Mailing Lists contains all mailing lists created so far. The OpenEMM shows which lists your recipient has subscribed to by ticking them. For this the corresponding mailing list has to be expanded by clicking on its name. If the recipient has subscribed to a particular mailing list, the OpenEMM shows additional data.

Fig. 4.3: The right part of the screen shows which newsletters a recipient subscribes to.
The selection list Type shows the type of recipient. The following types exist:
• | Administrator: The creator of a mailing is the administrator. You should create a recipient profile for yourself (if you have not already done so) and assign yourself the status of Administrator for that mailing list. For details see chapter "Creating administrators and test distribution lists". |
• | Test recipients: To test the mailing, it is essential to send a few test mails to test recipients. They are not real recipients but e-mail addresses only you have access to. You could also assign that status to someone who has to check a mailing prior to sending it to all recipients on the list. |
Under Status the OpenEMM shows the recipient’s status. The Remark contains a date, a time and the last action.
• | Active: The recipient has subscribed to this mailing list. The remark explains which action caused this status. |
• | Bounce: The address is invalid. The recipient was de-registered from the system. |
• | Opt-In: The recipient was registered as a subscriber of this mailing list. This may have been done by the recipient himself via the web interface or by the administrator (followed by: by ADMIN). |
• | Opt-Out: The recipient has opted out from the mailing list. This may have been done by the recipient himself via the web interface or by the administrator (followed by: by ADMIN). |
• | Blacklisted: The recipient has been placed on the blacklist. The ID of the user who placed the recipient on the blacklist is also given. |
