User Features
Subscriber Management
With double opt-in support, Gossamer List can help ensure that your mailing lists are reaching only valid and legitimate subscribers. Users may create an optional Stop List; any addresses listed in a user's stop list will not be emailed, even if the email address exists within one of the user's mailing lists. Upon detection of a bounced email, Gossamer List can remove the invalid address from the system.
Automatically Generated Subscription Forms
Gossamer List can automatically generate HTML that adds forms to web pages which allows users to sign up for the mailing lists you create.
