How to Create a Mailing List
A mailing list is the foundation of everything you do in Aledamail. It holds your subscribers and defines the default sender details used when you send campaigns to that list. You can have multiple lists — for example, one for your newsletter, one for product updates, and one for a specific campaign.
Step 1 — Go to Lists
Log in to your Aledamail account and click Lists in the left sidebar. Then click the Create New List button in the top right corner.
Step 2 — Fill in the list details
You'll see a form with the following fields:
- List name — A name for your own reference, like "Newsletter" or "Customers 2024". Subscribers don't see this.
- From name — The sender name that appears in your subscribers' inboxes, like "Jane from Acme" or just your company name.
- From email — The email address your campaigns will be sent from. This must be on a domain you've authenticated with your sending server.
- Reply-to email — Where replies go when subscribers hit Reply. Can be the same as your from email or a different address.
Step 3 — Set your contact details
Scroll down to fill in your company name and mailing address. These are required by email law (CAN-SPAM in the US, GDPR in Europe) and appear in the footer of every email you send. Aledamail adds these automatically — you don't need to include them in your email template.
Step 4 — Save the list
Click Save. Your list is created and ready for subscribers. You'll be taken to the list overview page where you can start importing contacts or managing settings.
What's next
Once your list is created, the next step is to add subscribers. You can import a CSV file, add subscribers one by one, or connect a sign-up form.
