Segments: New/Edit Segment: Boundaries
When posting to a list or a segment, ListManager automatically adds some additional restrictions to the member selection query. These restrictions only allow sending of mail to "normal" members (i.e. not held or unsubscribed, or on another list). However, there are times when you might want to send to all members of a list regardless of whether they are set to receive message as sent. Or, perhaps you want to send the message to all members including those who are held.
These types of postings are possible by modifying Pull only normal members, Pull only members receiving regular email and Pull only this list's members. In general, you should never need to modify these settings, and problems can occur if you modify these settings without understanding the consequences. For example, you could end up sending to members who have unsubscribed from your list, or you could send to every member on the server inadvertently.
Pull only normal members
By default, the segment will pull only "normal" members, not those who have unsubscribed from the list, who are held due to bouncing too much mail, or who have not yet confirmed that they'd like to receive mail from you. By selecting "No," you will send to all members who meet your subset criteria, regardless of the status of their subscription.
Warning: By selecting "No," you may be sending to people who do not want to receive your mail. These people may be unhappy about receiving your mail if they haven't opted in, or have already opted out of receiving your mailings. Additionally, if you choose to send to members who are on hold, you will most likely have slower sending speeds and lower success rates.
Pull only members receiving regular email
By default, the subset will only send to members who have selected to receive normal postings, not digests, mimedigests, or who have set themselves to not receive mail at all. By selecting "No, pull ALL members, regardless of email type," you will be sending an email message to members regardless of the type of message they have signed themselves up for.
Warning: By selecting "No," you may be sending to people who do not want to receive ordinary email messages from you. These people may be unhappy about receiving email from you at all, or in a format they haven't selected.
Pull only this list's members
By default, the subset will select only members from the list you're currently working in. If you'd like to send to recipients regardless of the list they're subscribed to, select "No, pull members from all lists on the server."
Warning: By selecting "No," you may be sending to other lists than the one you're working in. Be sure that the message you're sending is appropriate for all the lists you may be sending to.
