How do I send out a message?
- Compose your message in any email program.
- Add your posting password to the subject line.
- Send it to <control-hoovernews@cctomany.com> for immediate distribution.
How do I include an unsubscribe link in my messages?
Include these lines in your message:
You are subscribed as: _email_ To REMOVE or CHANGE this address, click here: _unsuburl_
The variables _email_ and _unsuburl_ will be converted to the recipient's email address and unique unsubscribe page respectively as the messages are sent.
How do people get subscribed to my list?
- If yours is a public list, you will need to add a signup form to your web site.
- If yours is a private list, then you add subscribers via this interface. Use the "Add/Remove Recipients" link.
How do I add a subscribe/unsubscribe form to my web site?
Add a form like this to your web page(s):
<form method="POST" action="http://www.cctomany.com/su.php"><p> <input type="text" name="Email" size="20"><br> <input type="radio" name="Action" value="join-hoovernews" checked>Subscribe <input type="radio" name="Action" value="leave-hoovernews">Unsubscribe</p> <input type="hidden" name="ThanksURL" value="2222"> <input type="submit" value="Do It"> </form>
You must make one edit to the code above:
- On line 5, replace 2222 with the full URL of a thank-you landing page on your website, which will be displayed upon a successful submission. On that page, be sure to say that the recipient must reply to the confirmation email they've just been sent in order to complete their subscription.
Alternative: you can also use a pre-built signup form on our server. Just link to http://www.cctomany.com/sub/hoovernews - but that form may not provide the "look and feel" you want, nor will it reside within your existing web page(s). Putting it into a pop-up window may work, but some browser settings prevent pop-up windows.
Bounces
By default, bounces are re-directed back to our server where they are removed after three successive bounces.
