Recipients tab

In this tab, groups containing recipients can be created. Each recipient is represented by an e-mail address. There are no pre-configured groups. Up to 50 groups can be created. There is no restriction to the number of e-mail addresses in a group.

Once a group is created, it can be used in the mailing policies and in configuration modules in which e-mail sending can be configured.

This screen consists of two zones:

  • A zone containing the recipient groups,
  • A zone containing the members of the selected recipient group.

NOTE
Refer to the section Allowed names to find out which characters are allowed and prohibited in various fields.
