7. Create the Mailing List:
   • Save or create the mailing list. The system will generate a unique email address associated with the mailing list.

Option 2: Use an Email Marketing Service:

If you’re looking to create a mailing list for marketing purposes, you might consider using an email marketing service. Popular services include Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and others. Here are general steps:

5. Add Subscribers:
   • Start adding subscribers to your list. Some services allow manual addition, while others provide forms or integration options for your website.
6. Design and Send Emails:
   • Create and send emails to your mailing list through the email marketing service’s platform.

Important Considerations:

• Be mindful of data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CAN-SPAM) when creating and managing mailing lists.
• Clearly communicate the purpose of your mailing list and obtain explicit consent from subscribers.
• Regularly clean and update your mailing list to ensure it remains relevant and engaged.

If you have a custom domain email, your hosting provider’s support team can guide you through the specific steps for creating mailing lists using their platform.
