Specifying other email header settings

You can enter further email header settings in Inxmail Professional via a command in the content area of the mailing.

Note: The header To, CC and BCC are only effective for a live dispatch and do not work in test emails. Clicks and openings of recipients that you address via CC or BCC do not have any impact on your key reporting figures.

Step by step

  1. Open the mailing in the Editing workflow step.
  2. Click in the content area of the mailing.

  3. Enter CC or BCC recipients via a command if you would like to send a copy of each email that is sent to one of the list recipients.

    Typical applications include:

    • Sending email copies to a predefined email address (for example, crm@example.com) for archiving in a CRM.

    • Sending email copies to an email address that is determined via a column value (for example, email_customer care representative column).

    Specify CC or BCC recipients using the following command:

    Email header

    entry

    Format/Example

    CC

    Format: [%header(CC,<email address1>,<email address2>)]

    Example: [%header(CC,crm@example.com)]

    Example with column value: [%header(CC,[email_customercare])]

    BCC

    Format: [%header(BCC,<email address1>,<email address2>)]

    Example: [%header(BCC,crm@example.com)]

    Example with column value: [%header(BCC,[email_customercare])]

  4. To specify arbitrary personalised email header entries, enter the following:

    Email header

    entry

    Format/Example

    Email header entry that displays a fixed piece of text

    Format: [%header(X-<any name in the email header field>,<text>)]

    Example: The email header entry ‘Version’, which displays the fixed text ‘Inxmail Professional 4.4.1’, may be specified as follows: [%header(X-Version,Inxmail Professional 4.4.1)]

    Email header entry that displays data read out from the system (Insert system data / commands).

    Format: [%header(X-<name of the email header field>,[<name of the system data field>])]

    Example: The email header entry ‘Mailinglist’, which displays the name of the mailing list, may be specified as follows: [%header(X-Mailinglist,[%list-name])]

    Email header entry that displays column values read out from the recipient table.

    Format: [%header(X-<name of the email header field>,[<column value>])]

    Example: The email header entry ‘Changedate’, which displays the date of the last modification to the recipient data set (read from the ‘Modified on’ system column), may be specified as follows: [%header(X-Changedate,[Changed on])]

  5. Save your entries.
  • You have specified a personalised email header entry for the email header of the mailing.
