The List Management Utility is an extremely efficient application for filtering your fax broadcasting lists.

For example, when sending to many recipients via a fax distribution list, you may want to first make sure that:

1- You have not contacted the parties before.
2- Recipients aren't listed more than once in the new list.
3- Number are not listed in a "do not contact list".

There are many variations for using this program with fax numbers, but here is a sample session:

Step 1- Place your fax numbers in text files. The records may be separated by lines, commas or tabs.

Step 2- Open your list to be cleaned in box number one. Duplicate entries will be removed immediately.

Step 3- Optional Step. If you have a list of parties that have requested to be removed from your distributions, open that list in box two.

Step 4- Load your list of previously contacted parties, or your do not contact list, in the third box.

Step 5- Click"Sort Now" under the fourth list box to show all the emails from the first list box without any addresses that also appear in the second or third box. This is now a "pure" list of all the first time contacts.

Step 6- Press "Merge Now" under the fifth list box to add the third and fourth list boxes together. This would be the list of previously contacted parties (box 3) for your next distribution.

Notes:

1) Fax broadcasting references on this page are referring to lawful communications where the sender and receiver have an existing relationship, and transmissions are requested.

2) Be sure to enter your registration code in order to save the lists generated in box 4 and 5 (see File -> Register).

3) To clear fax numbers: File -> Clear All Lists
