Using List+
Activation
Log into the MailUp console and select Settings > List settings > List+. You will find a button to enable the feature.
Authorizing senders
In order to be able to use List+, you need to add the email address that you will be sending messages from to the list of authorized senders.
Click on the corresponding button to add a new sender, and enter the email address that you you are authorizing.
...
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Please note that the sender(s) that you authorize here will NOT be the actual sender of the message. The sender of the message will be the default Send Email and Send Name specified for the List. |
The same address will be used by MailUp to authorize a new List+ mailing, unless an alternative address is specified.
The reason why you have the ability to specify a separate address for mailing authorizations is that you may be sending the message from an application - which uses a certain email as the sender - but may want another person to authorize the mailing.
| Warning |
|---|
| Although the system allows you to turn off the required mailing authorization, we strongly recommend that you do not do so. If you do, there is the possibility of messages being sent to a potentially large number of recipients without authorization. For instance, think of a virus infection that may affect the computer from which List+ messages are sent. |
How a List+ mailing works
Using List+ is extremely easy. Log into your MailUp admin console and select Settings > List settings > List+
...
The mailing works as follows:
- Get the List+ address that you wish to use (e.g. the one that allows you to send a message to an entire List)
- Within your email client, save it in your contacts, If you want to send to the entire list, that address is immediately shown to you: simply copy and paste it into your email program
- If you want to send to a group within the list, copy and paste the address into Notepad or another text editor, and edit it according to the syntax mentioned below under "Sending a message to one or more groups"
- Now take the List+ address and save it within your contacts of your email client, so you don't have to memorize it. Label it with a good description, so you can easily locate it next time, without having to access the MailUp admin console.
- Use the address in the "TO" field just like any other email address
- After you send the message, you will receive an mailing authorization request, like the one shown below. It contains
- The subject of the message that you are about to send
- The number of recipients that it will be sent to
- The ID of the List
- Once you confirm the mailing, the message will be added to the mailing queue and sent within 5 minutes.

Sending a message to an entire list
...
Log into your MailUp admin console and select Settings > List settings > List+
MailUp will show you the List+ address for the selected list at the top of the page. It's Copy and paste it in your email client to send a message to the list.
The address is structured as follows:
list(list_ID).c(console_ID).(security_code)@2many.it
...
- Each MailUp account has a different console_ID
- Each List within that console_ID has a different ID
- The security_code changes is also unique, and expires every 90 days, for extra security. If you need to, you can change it (i.e. make the current one expire) . For extra security it is recommended to change it every 90 days by clicking on the Change security code button.
Sending a message to one or more groups
To Log into your MailUp admin console and select Settings > List settings > List+
Expand the area where sample List+ addresses are shown. You will see an example of a List+ address used to send to Group ID 1. Copy and paste it in a text editor and replace the ID with the ID of the group that you wish to mail to.
Specifically, to send a message to a group, use a List+ address that is structured as follows:
g(group_ID).list(list_ID).c(console_ID).(security_code)@2many.it
...
g(group_ID).g(group_ID).g(group_ID).list(list_ID).c(console_ID).(security_code)@2many.it
You can find the Group ID either in the page that lists all Groups under the Recipients menu, or in the Codes Table under Settings > Account settings > Developer's corner
Sending a test message
You can send a test message to the authorized sender, to preview how the message will look. To do so, use the address:
test.list(list_ID).c(console_ID).(security_code)@2many.it
Saving a message in MailUp
You can also use List+ to save a message into your MailUp console. This is useful if you created the message elsewhere. To do so, use the address:
save.list(list_ID).c(console_ID).(security_code)@2many.it
You will find the exact address to use for a certain List by visiting the List+ page under Settings > List settings in your MailUp account.
In this case no message is sent. The message you send to the List is simply saved to that List and can be found under Messages > Email > Saved
