Define Recipients: Let LISTSERV Select Recipients from a Database or LDAP Directory

To access the recipients wizard for a given job: From the job's workflow page, click on Define Recipients.
Or from the job list, select the desired job, then in the job details pane, select the Summary tab and click on the Edit link in the Recipients section.

To access the recipients wizard for a given A/B-split job: On the A/B-Split Job Details page, click the Edit link in the Recipients section.

The Define Recipients wizard allows the defining of recipients that will receive the email message specified in the job when the job is finally sent.

The wizard has five pages: Options, Source, Source Details, Recipients Details, Advanced Settings, and Summary.

The top row of the wizard displays links to these five pages. The page that is currently open is marked with a highlighted background color. Depending on the choices made on some of the wizard pages, other pages may become disabled or may be shown in different versions. If a wizard page is disabled, then it means that this page is not necessary with the current choices and can safely be ignored.


Source Page: SQL Statement or LDAP Query

Define the SQL statement or the LDAP query that is used to select recipients from the database. LISTSERV Maestro saves the query and forwards it to LISTSERV, either as SQL statement or as LDAP query, depending on the choice that is supplied on this page. The command is then executed by LISTSERV to retrieve the recipient information for the email job.

Optionally, define a server alias. This is the server alias as defined in LISTSERV that is to be used to execute the SQL statement or the LDAP query. If no name is specified, the default server alias is used. See the LISTSERV manual for more details.
