How to send bulk email to a distribution list?
Bulk send sends a separate email to each person in a distribution list; recipients do not see each other's addresses. Who can do this: An administrator (with permission to manage mailboxes) and a user with write permission on the sending mailbox. The send is queued and sent in small batches at short intervals. The {ad} you type in the text is replaced with each recipient's name in the list.
Steps
In SmartMail Management, open Bulk send from the menu on the left and click New bulk send 1.
Select the Sender mailbox and Distribution list, enter the Subject and Email body. In the body, write {ad} where you want the recipient's name to appear.
To send now, click Start sending; if you want to send later, select Send time or save it with Save draft.
The row of an ongoing send shows Live; the number of emails sent, remaining and errors is updated every few seconds 2. If needed, pause with Pause 3 and resume with Resume; Cancel completely ends sending to the remaining recipients. Report shows the status of each recipient.
