About address groups

In Direct Mail, each email address is associated with one address group. You can organize your email addresses into different address groups. New documents contain a default group for addresses called "Default Group."

In addition to the normal type of address groups, Direct Mail supports three special kinds of address groups:

Subscription Group: This kind of group provides a web page that other people can use to automatically subscribe or unsubscribe to the group. Use this kind of group if you don't want to maintain the list of addresses by hand. This feature is only available to Direct Mail Pro users.

Blacklist: Any addresses added to this group will be automatically excluded from any mailings — even if the same address appears in other groups. Use this kind of group if there are addresses you want to always exclude from mailings.

MySQL Group: Dynamically updates the list of addresses from a MySQL database, keeping changes to both the group and the database in sync. If your address list is stored in a MySQL database, this is a convenient way to bring the addresses into Direct Mail.
