Q: When sending a LISTSERV Maestro
mailing to a regular LISTSERV list, only blind tracking is possible. How can
I get the richer set of tracking options and still get the benefits of a
LISTSERV list, such as archives?
Answer by Françoise Becker VP
Software Engineering, L-Soft
There are several possible solutions,
depending on which tracking features and which LISTSERV list features are
desired. Three of these solutions are described below:
- Use a LISTSERV list with Mail-Merge=Yes
- Use a Maestro Hosted LISTSERV List (HLL)
- Use a Maestro Hosted Recipient List (HRL) to which a
LISTSERV list is subscribed for archival purposes only.
