A Distribution list name that you previously created
4. As you type, options will display in the autocomplete box. Select recipients. A gray rectangle with the name of the recipient that you just selected will show in the Recipients box. Continue adding members or groups in the same manner until you are done.
5. If you need to exclude one or more recipients from a group that you selected in the recipient area, click in the Member recipient exclusions textbox. In the blue box, start typing the member name of the member that should not receive the email. Select the member that should be excluded from the email in the autocomplete box. The exclusion feature is helpful when planning surprises, such as birthdays or recognitions for particular members.

10. To include a list of all recipients at the bottom of the email, mark the Append list of recipients to the mail body checkbox. This feature is helpful for keeping track of responses or to keep a list of individual email recipients.
11. To send the email immediately, click the Send button. Click the Save button to save as a draft.
Note:
All emails are sent as individual emails and not one collective email with several recipients. This helps with deliverability.
The From email address in the email shows as noreply@portalbuzz.com and the reply-to address will be your email address.
All hard bounces (indicating that the email does not exist) or spam complaints will be permanently removed from any and all future mailings. The removal of email addresses is handled automatically.
