Now let us examine some complicated situations.
How to find undeliverable e-mails and remove them from your list.
At first you must create another mailing list with no fields
except the email field which the list will have by default.
(example: UNDELIVERABLE.DB)
Then in the Edit Mailing List window enter the username
and the password as usual, tick the subject line check box
and in the subject line enter the message you will receive from
your ISP if the e-mail cannot be delivered.
(example: Returned mail: see transcript for details).
Create a new subscription filter where you define in which line
the undeliverable e-mail is being refered.
For example, if we have something like this:
From:undeliverable@isp.com
To:newsletter@youremail.com
Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details
Message:
#1 The original message was received at Sat, 13 Jul 2002
#2 23:29:45 +0300 (EEST) from undeliverable.isp.com [63.60.0.1]
#3
#4 ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
#5 [wrongemail@hotmail.com]
#6 ...
then the e-mail can be found in the LINE# 5 after the WORD(S) '['
In scheduler create a 'new subscription' process, having as a
list the undeliverable list (UNDELIVERABLE.DB) and filter the
one that you have just created. This task will be checked a few
minutes after you have sent your newsletter.
The undeliverable e-mails will be added in this list and you
can check them, and remove them from the other lists you have
by running the menu command:
[Delete Duplicate Records from the list]
How to create a double opt-in mailing list
Create an auto-reply filter with subject the subject you want
the subscribers message to have.
In the auto-reply message use somewhere in the template message
in a single line the '%%' which will display the message
someone has sent.
Here is an example of a template:
This is a double opt-in mailing list, in order to subscribe
you must hit the reply button of your e-mail program, without
changing anything.
Below are the details you have sent to us:
%%
In the [Edit Mailing List] menu command in the subject line
for new subscriptions use the 'Re: ' and the message you have used
as a subject in the auto-reply filter, because when you hit
the reply button the subject remains the same having a 'Re: '
in front of it.
For example, if in the auto-reply filter the subject line is
'subscribe' then the new subject will be 'Re: subscribe'
Create a new subscription filter where you will define where
in the message the fields can be found.
After that use the Scheduler to check your messages as always.
How to add someone in your auto-responses and in your newsletter
the same time.
Create a follow up filter with subject the one that you use
for your new subscriptions subject.
The rest will be done automatically by the Scheduler.

User Guide.
