Populating a Global Mail Lists

Use FirstClass Scripting to Populate a Global Mail List

The Script Command

The new POPULATE GLOBALMAILLIST command will populate a global mail list with all members of the specified groups.
For example, to populate the global mail list named All Members with the members of the Staff and Students groups, the command is

    POPULATE GLOBALMAILLIST "All Members" 2 Staff Students
    

NOTE: The Global Mail list must first exist within the Mail Lists folder on the Admin Desktop
NOTE: Each time the command is issued, the entire list is replaced.

An email is sent to the Batch Admin processor with the following commands.
