Overview
The innovative List+ feature allows you to easily send an email from any program (e.g. Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.) to multiple recipients, leveraging the MailUp system. Say "good-bye" to the old idea of distribution lists, and "hello" to the smart email addresses that you can leverage through MailUp's new List+ feature.
...
The mailing works as follows:
- In order to create a new List+ address, you must first cut and paste a List+ address from the list of sample addresses on the List+ page. Rewrite the address by entering the List, Console, and/or Group IDs that represent the bulk addresses. (see Sending Messages below.)
- Take this List+ address that you wish to use (e.g. the one that allows you to send a message to an entire List) 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 (Note, List+ addresses are not saved in the MailUp console, but only within your email client!).
- 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
To send a message to the entire list, use the address shown 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
...
Sending a message to one or more groups
...
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
