How to Test Direct Mail
Typically, you send personalized direct mail items by using expression lists so that you can target your customers. When you create the direct mail item, you can send test mail by using a static list. To test personalized direct mail, you must use a static list that contains user IDs. If you create the static list by using Marketing Manager, the list will not have a profile user ID associated with it, so the test mail will fail. You can create a list for testing by importing an expression list into a static list, through the Import List option or programmatically.
Note
For more information about how to import expression lists programmatically, see your site developer.
