Send an Individual or Group Email
When sending a group email, we recommend that you are cautious with the number of messages sent at one time to prevent internet service providers from blocking your email address to your intended recipients (also referred to as blacklisted - see below to check if your email is being blacklisted). If you need to send larger campaigns, we recommend using a specialized email marketing service (Mailchimp, Constant Contact, SendinBlue, etc.).
To protect each recipient's privacy, email messages will always be sent individually (even when sending one email to multiple recipients). You will receive a copy of each email as a record of the message sent. We recommend setting up mail rules in your email application if you'd like to keep them grouped together.
Before proceeding, you'll want to ensure you have added your email address in the Email Settings field in Preferences.
Notes:
- Ensure that your email signature includes your contact information, including a physical mailing address, to comply with anti-spam laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act (US) and CRTC (Canada) when sending a promotional email.
- To help ensure recipients receive your email, messages will display your First and Last name from Preferences as the sender but will be sent from boulevardonline@mainstsoftware.com. You can recommend that they add boulevardonline@mainstsoftware.com to their address book/contacts if the message goes to their spam/junk folder. If the recipient replies to the email, it will automatically reply to the email address entered in the Email Settings field in Preferences.
- If the recipient does not receive your email or the email goes into their spam/junk folder, ensure that they have your email address set in their address book.
