Introduction

A mailing list is a convenient way to send email messages to multiple recipients at once. It allows you to create a group email address to which multiple users can subscribe. Email messages sent to the mailing list can range from simple text updates to rich newsletters and promotions containing embedded images, links, and multimedia attachments. Mailing lists are particularly useful for businesses and organizations that need to regularly communicate with a large audience, such as for newsletters, announcements, or promotional campaigns.

Plesk provides a built-in mailing list management feature that allows you to easily create, manage, and remove mailing lists, as well as subscribe or unsubscribe users. This guide covers the essential steps to set up and manage mailing lists in Plesk.

Note: Plesk does not limit the number of members in a mailing list, so you can add as many subscribers as needed.
