How do I set up Interspire Email Marketer?

Bulk E-mail and Mailing List Programs:

Email Marketer (formerly SendStudio) is one web-based bulk-email system that we allow. First, you must comply with all our bulk email policies. The use of Email Marketer, or any web-based mailing list management software, on the shared system is dependent upon following all bulk mail policies and the guidelines provided below.

Please note: Modwest still advises the use of Mailman lists for a subscribription list of under 1000 members and Listserv for a subscription list over 1000 members.

Installing Email Marketer:

Follow the instructions found in the SendStudio Installation guide with the following Modwest-specific alterations:

Step 1. Uploading Files

If you are having trouble uploading your files, please read the applicable FAQ on FTP access: Upload and edit files FAQ.

Step 2. File Permissions

You do not need file permissions of 777 -- 755 will do fine.

Step 3. MySQL Database

See this article to determine your database server.

Steps 4 & 5

No extra information is needed -- simply follow the instructions.

Additional Required Settings:

In order to prevent straining server resources and spam complaints that could cause Modwest administrators to temporarily disable your account, Modwest requires that you set up Email Marketer with the following user configuration options:

1. SMTP Server: 'listmail.modwest.com'
   
2. E-mails per Hour: Maximum 1000
   
3. You must also setup Bounce processing via the 'Manage Mailing List' interface.
4. You must provide a prominent Unsubscribe link in every e-mail. Creating a Template is a good way to go about this.
