Outlook 07 BCM and SQL database Jeffrey K 2/5/2007 4:17:01 PM Thinking of buying Outlook Pro 07 for the Email Marketing, will there be a problem with SQL and does the Email Marketing when tracking, unsubscribe recepients automatically?

RE: Outlook 07 BCM and SQL database Clinton Ford [MSFT] 2/5/2007 5:11:00 PM Unsubscribes are tracked automatically when you use Microsoft's E-mail Marketing Service in conjunction with Business Contact Manager Marketing Campaigns. If you use Outlook e-mail or Word e-mail to deliver your Marketing Campaigns, unsubscribes are NOT automatically tracked.

RE: Outlook 07 BCM and SQL database Jeffrey K 2/5/2007 6:55:02 PM Does the Email Marketing Service cost extra? Little confused on why if I send something thru Outlook the unsubscriber are not automatically tracked. Is that what Email Marketing Service does, tracks, auto-opt out and give reports on what the customer clicked per link.

RE: Outlook 07 BCM and SQL database Clinton Ford [MSFT] 2/5/2007 7:31:00 PM Most mass e-mail messages include an "opt out" link within the message. To support this functionality, you'll generally need a web server that can process each "opt out" request. Also, some Internet Service Providers (ISP's) limit the amount of bulk mail that can be sent through their Simple Mail Tranfer Protocol (SMTP) servers. Users who exceed their limits may be denied service. Microsoft solves both of these issues with the E-mail Marketing Service. For additional information on the benefits of this service, see the article titled "Using the E-Mail Marketing Service in Business Contact Manager" at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP011616031033.aspx -- Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "Jeffrey K" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Does the Email Marketing Service cost extra?

RE: Outlook 07 BCM and SQL database Jeffrey K 2/6/2007 1:49:01 PM So it sounds like that our database will on the E-mail Marketing Service website instead of our servers/computers if Outlook doesn't do the auto opt-out.
