Easiest way to clean an OLD Mailing List
« on: September 07, 2011, 09:22:58 am »
Hi Everyone,

On one of my lists that I have not mailed in a while is quite large. When I sent out
a mailing in the past month I got over 100K permanent email errors -- but it looks
like those emails HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED off my list.

Not sure what is amiss...

Isn't the script suppose to remove IMMEDIATELTY from all lists any email that comes
back  with a permanent email error?

I notice some of the emails are on multiple lists and need to be removed, but the
question is what is the best way to do this...

Manually remove them ONE-BY-ONE -- real pain would take FOREVER....

or some other way.

Suggestions ..

Hi John,

I have a cleaner script, it's not perfect but it does seem to work.  Contact me through my website (below) for details.

Actually, I rolled up my sleeves and solved the problem my self.  I created a script which works directly with the ListMailPro script and removes ALL bad emails -- you just have to specify all those bad emails in a text file which it then parses and removes ALL instances from ListMailPro.

Dean -- are you interested in this ? It works... and it's really fast...

Maybe you could sell it as an add-on to your members...
