How to Create Mailing Lists

Overview

In this lesson you will learn how to create a mailing list, you can use cPanel to create, modify and delete mailing lists for your website. With a mailing list, you can send a single message to many recipients at the same time. For example, you can create a [email protected] mailing list that you use to send a message to all of your customers at once.
