What's the normal iMS behavior if those messages aren't customized? I wonder at the bandwidth (and processing) savings of doing this for a large and/or very busy mailing list. No doubt it's dependant on the nature of the list, but professional lists similar to this one probably have a fair number of situations with multiple member addresses in a domain. Other lists, say where people commonly use yahoo, hotmail, msn accounts would probably see even larger savings by delivering a single message instead of, in some cases, hundreds to a domain.
I hadn't noticed the customized unsubscribe link in the message footers. I've seen other lists do this and some that just tell you what email address you've used to subscribe. I would think that on a large mailing list this customization involves a significant amount of processing to regenerate every message for every single list member. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howie Hamlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 1:40 PM Subject: Re: (Admin) List Question > Once you customize an email you can't send it to more than one person at a time. > > Howie > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Dinowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 3:05 PM > Subject: Re: (Admin) List Question > > > > If there's an SMTP feature to send one message and have it delivered to two > > separate people at the same domain then it's something that Howie would deal > > with in iMS (it's probably there). > > Note the line in the footer that says unsubscribe.
