Where else do I need to edit - Mailing Lists

The solution file did not work, sorry.

 

However, I found the error and feel rather stupid.

C:\MERCURY\Lists.mer is not the correct location, I missed it by a level C:\MERCURY\MERCURY\Lists.mer.

So now all my data files work fine.

 

Sorry.

I'm currently migrating data from an old list server to Mercury.  Once the system is up and running we are going to hit it hard for a test period to see if we want to purchase the product.  Unfortunately, we have about a 110 lists, so manually entering them isn't feasible.  So far I've managed to transfer all the lists into <list_name>.mlf, and format the Lists.mer file to what appears to be the correct format.  However, the lists don't show up under the mailing lists.  I was very carefully to keep the format intact(I used the tab character where it was mentioned).  Is there another file I should edit other than lists.mer and the individual <list_name>.mlf?

 

-Thanks

The recommended way to import mailing lists is to use the BuildMLF utility available here:

http://mysite.ncnetwork.net/resretzs/pmail/

Syntax of the input textfile:

Address@domain.net,Name,Status,Digest,NotRepro

Commas are used as delimiters.

The first parameter is the email address.  You need not include any other parameters.  Should omit the other parameters, name will be blank, status will be Active, digests will off, and repro will be on.
