How to create and manage mailing lists in cPanel
Mailing lists allow you to send an email to multiple recipients in one go. This feature is very useful when you need to send a newsletter or other update to a group of people.
NOTE: in order to prevent spam sending on servers we have implemented the following outgoing limits for our shared packages (so if you have a mailing list with 20 recipients, 20 emails will be sent out):
– Value, Professional, Reseller plans – no more than 200 emails per hour per domain.
– Ultimate plan – no more that 500 emails per hour per domain.
– Business SSD plan – no more than 100 emails per hour per domain.
cPanel allows you to create mailing lists in several clicks:
1. Log into your cPanel, navigate to Mail section and click on Mailing Lists
In the next window:
– Enter the mailing list name in the List Name text box.
– Select a domain from the Domain menu.
– Enter strong password for your mailing list
– Select one of the following access types:
public – subscriptions are open.
private – administrator must approve subscriptions.
2. Click on Add Mailing List
Once done you will see a message about successful mailing list creation.
