Manual: Settings-BulkMail

Feature=BulkMail permits the transmission of Email messages to multiple recipients from the Site. The method and characteristics of this transmission can be configured via Setting=BulkMail, as follows:

Account

For Method=>SMTP, specifies the Account Name (Userid) at the SMTP Server that will be used to transmit messages. Default is "BulkMail@{domain-name}"

CC-Suffix

The text string that is added to the bottom of each Carbon Copy Email message generated by the Site to the CCEmail address (typically, to replicate a Mail or Notification Message). For messages send to an individual via SMTP, the CCEmail address is added to the Email as a CC entry and, as a result, will be an exact duplicate of the Email message sent to the Recipient (including the Suffix).

Default is:

---

Method=>SMTP permits improved performance over Method=>PHPMail, but requires the specification of a Server, Account, and Password. Default is "PHPMail".
