Test mailing list
This is an additional mailing list that has been designed for better control of mailings. When you use this mailing list, a copy of the newsletter will always be sent to a pre-defined subscriber list. These e-mails (copies) will be generated when you begin to send the test mailing to this list. Right after you send out the test mailings, sending of the newsletter will begin. This function may be used in different ways. In this example, the test addresses of all the larger providers will receive an e-mail, to see how long it takes for them to receive this e-mail. Any potential problems with sending out a newsletter may be uncovered by using this function. Please note that the test e-mail addresses must not be created as routine subscribers in your database, which may cause the newsletters to be sent out with no personalization. This is not a BACKCLICK error.
