Mailing lists are among the most underrated features in any hosting account, incredibly useful for online businesses that want to stay in touch with their customers by keeping them informed with regular updates regarding their products or services. There are several mailing list scripts available online in both the free and paid variety. If you use cPanel as your control panel, you don’t have to worry about searching for them as a serviceable script is already bundled into the software. Known as Mailman, this program allows you create mailing lists with varying options such as contacts on the list, where the mail will be sent and much more. This cPanel tutorial will walk you through the process of adding, editing and deleting mail lists right from your control panel.
How to Create Mailing Lists
- Login to your cPanel and click the “Mailing Lists” icon under the “Mail” category.
- On the “Mailing lists” page, click the “Add Mailing List” link.
- Next, enter a name for your mailing list and a password in the appropriate fields. Make sure you confirm the password on the next line.
- Choose the domain the mailing list will be used on from the list of options provided in the drop-down menu.
- Lastly, click the “Create” button.
How to Edit Mailing Lists
Creating a mail listing is easy. Editing them is just as simple. The Mailman script makes a large number of configuration options available to you and the steps below will show you how to go about accessing them.
- Login to your cPanel account and click on the “Mailing List” icon underneath the “Mail” category.
- On the Mailing List page, you can find your mailing lists by using the handy search function. Once you find it, login to the list you just created with the password you assigned. Doing so will open up a separate administrative panel that allows you to play around with the settings and options.
How to Delete Mailing Lists
If you have mailing lists you want to delete for whatever reason, don’t worry because removing them is easy. You can even delete multiple lists simultaneously if you choose to. Before proceeding, we must warn you that by deleting a mailing list, you will also be deleting all the data it contains. This includes existing messages, archives and member email addresses. If you feel that you will need this information later on down the road, you should either copy those files or download them to your local hard drive before deleting them. Keeping this in mind, follow the steps below:
- Login into cPanel and click the “Mailing Listing” icon under the “Mail” category.
- On the “Mailing Lists” page, click the “Mailing Lists” link.
- Next, simply click the “Delete” button next to the list you want to delete.
- Finally, confirm the deletion by clicking the “Yes” button.

Some of the many features are:

HTTPMail Service
MailEnable Professional is one of the first mail servers to supply a HTTPMail server component. HTTPMail is a relatively new protocol for the server hosted messaging services. Fundamentally, HTTPMail provides an alternative to using POP and SMTP, with the added benefit of allowing messages to be hosted on the server (rather than downloaded onto the client). Further to this, using HTTPMail, you can move messages between your server and local stores as you desire.
HTTPMail utilises WebDAV HTTP Extensions to provide remote access to server hosted mail folders using standard HTTP communication. This service is a major value add to MailEnable because it allows mail messages to be hosted on the server and provides tight integration with Outlook 2002 and Outlook Express.
MailEnable POP Retrieval
The MailEnable POP Retrieval Connector allows you to retrieve email from remote mail servers via POP3 and deliver locally. Users are able to configure their own settings from webmail.
MailEnable COM Component
This easy-to-use component can be used in any application that supports COM. For example, you can use this component in an ASP page to send email from a web application. Works against any SMTP mail server, not just MailEnable.

Once the previous steps are completed, as outlined in this section, the message is ready to be sent. Above the message, the compose screen will have the compose toolbar.

This will display the message content and message details. Message details include subject, sender’s details, recipient address and the date and time the message was received.

Select the link to either save the file to a directory or run the file in the relevant program.

Composing and sending messages Adding attachment to new message
Glossary Item Box
After clicking on the Attachments link as previously mentioned, a window will be shown to allow attachments to be added. Click on Browse in the window and using the Windows file browser, select the file to add as an attachment (one at a time).
Once a file has been selected the Attachments window will contain the filename of the document chosen. Select the add button and the file attachment will be complete.

The only requirement for sending a message is at least one recipient in the To: entry box. The body of the message can be written in the large text box at the bottom of the screen as shown above. The table below describes the message fields in detail.
| Field | Explanation | ||
| From | Once an email address is selected here it will be displayed in the ‘From’ address at the recipients address. Some mailboxes will simply have one address, not allowing this to be changed. If several mailboxes are linked to an account the ‘From’ address of the email can be changed by selecting the drop down arrow. | ||
| To | The TO entry box is where a destination email address is entered. It is important that the address is correctly typed as one incorrect keystroke of a letter or number in this combo box will mean that an email may not reach its destination. You can select an email address(es) from your contacts list by clicking on the To..: link.
|
||
| Cc | The CC entry box is similar to the To: text box, in that any email address entered here will receive the email message along with any attachments. Cc: is an abbreviation of Carbon Copy and in business terms is usually equated to “For Your Inclusion” or “For Your Perusal”. | ||
| Bcc | The BCC text box has the same functionality as the Cc: combo box and any address entered here will also receive a copy of the message. The difference between the CC: and Bcc: is that any recipients of a message will not be aware of the recipients in the Bcc: address list. Bcc: is an abbreviation of Blind Carbon Copy and when a person receives a message only the address in the To address list will be visible. | ||
| Subject | The subject text box is where a short description of what the message to be sent is about or what it contains. | ||
| Attachments | The attachments text box simply displays what attachments are associated or are attached to the message. After clicking the attachments, a further screen will appear where you can browse your computer in a Windows Explorer window for files to attach (one at a time). |
