Mailing lists allow you to send emails to multiple recipients in one go. This feature is very useful when you need to send a newsletter or another update to a group of people.

NOTE: In order to prevent spam sending on servers we have implemented the following outgoing limits for our shared packages (so, if you have a mailing list with 20 recipients, 20 emails will be sent out):

  • Stellar plan – no more than 50 emails per hour per domain
  • Stellar Plus plan – no more than 200 emails per hour per domain
  • Stellar Business plan – 10000 emails per hour per domain
  • old Value, Professional, Reseller plans – no more than 200 emails per hour per domain
  • old Ultimate plan – no more that 500 emails per hour per domain
  • old Business SSD plan – no more than 1000 emails per hour per domain

Creating a mailing list in cPanel:

cPanel allows you to create mailing lists in several clicks:

1. Log into your cPanel, navigate to the Email section and click on Mailing Lists:

For cPanel Basic Theme:

For cPanel Retro Theme:

2. In the next window:

  • Enter the mailing list name in the List Name text box
  • Select a domain from the Domain menu
  • Enter a strong password for your mailing list
  • Select one of the following access types:

Public: subscriptions are open
Private: the administrator must approve subscriptions

Click on Add:

  • Access: private or public

Delegation assigns administrative rights to available users. Use arrows to add/exclude selected users from the list of administrators and click Save:
