Example: Every time that you send a newsletter, you add the external message ID to every link in the email. This ID helps you track the performance of each newsletter in your eCommerce system and web analytics tool. |
From Address | Shows the from address that is displayed in the recipient inbox. This address can be different than the group email address. You define the from address in the group settings. For more information, see Reply Handling (tab). |

Accepted messages are all messages that were delivered and did not produce a bounce response from the MTA. This information is available for group messages only. |
