How to create and use a mailing list in FocalScope

A mailing list is a convenient way of storing several emails in a list and loading that list into an email for mass dispatch. FocalScope mailing lists exist independently of your Active Directory email groups and will only change when altered in FocalScope. There is also no way FocalScope mailing lists can affect your Active Directory groups, distribution lists, or CALs (client access lists). This article details how to create and use a mailing list in FocalScope.
