    Sending address

    Enter the email address you want to use as the sending address for your list.

    Deliverability: Make sure that the domain of your sender address is authenticated in the Sending domains navigation item. Otherwise, you will not be able to send any mailings.

    Field

    Description
    Limit sending rate

    You can limit / throttle the sending rate per mailing so that fewer emails will be sent out per hour. This prevents a system overload when you are dealing with large amounts of data.

    Example: Limit the sending rate if you have a large number of recipients and do not want all recipients to access your store system at the same time, right after receiving your email.

    You can limit the dispatch rate in increments of 3,600, e.g:

    • 3,600 emails per hour (= 1 email per second)

    • 7,200 emails per hour

    • 10,800 emails per hour

    • etc.
    Regional formatting

    Specify the country-specific format in which you want to display numbers and dates in your mailing.

    If you do not specify a country, the country setting of XPRO will automatically be used.

    Example: You can see different country-specific formatting for a sample number and date here.

    • Germany: 1,020.30 / 15.02.2027

    • Switzerland: 1'020.30 / 15.02.2027

    • USA: 1,020.30 / Feb 15, 2027

    • England: 1,020.30 / 15-Feb-2027

    • France: 1 020,30/15 févr. 2027
    Thousands separator

    Select "Use" if you want to indicate increments of 1000 in your mailing with a separator (e.g. "1,000,000").

    You can define the type of 1000s separator with the regional formatting above.
    Number of decimal places Specify with how many decimal places you want to use for decimal numbers in your mailing (e.g. for recipient attributes).
    Character set encoding

    Specify the character set encoding for your mailing.

    Recommendation: We recommend that you use UTF-8 character set encoding. This encoding supports the most commonly used characters as well as special characters. UTF-8 is also the default setting if you do not define anything.

    Make sure that your selected character set encoding displays all characters in your mailing correctly.

    Symbols: If you want to use symbols in your mailing or subject, you must use UTF-8.

    You can edit more list settings in Inxmail Professional.

  3. Click Save.

  • You have changed your list settings.
