We achieved 100% error correction in real text address lists we had. However, we suppose MLW to restore 95% of theoretically restorable addresses. Addresses are often written in exotic ways, e.g. (my)*(email)!(com) for spam-protection purposes. Intellect of our software cannot match human fantasy so far.

You can try to recover EmlBugs.LST (this file is placed in the MLW installation folder) to view MLW email addresses correction power.

No correct address can be damaged by this action: Mailing List Wizard only attempts to correct incorrect addresses. The list of processed addresses is stored in the log as shown above. Each line starts with the three-letter code (SRC - source address; NEW - corrected address; INV - invalid address, recovery failed), followed by the address line number, colon, and the address proper.

The Wizard will also offer you the following options:

Remove ?subject= from addresses

Nominally, providing message subject together with e-mail address is quite allowable, but in most mailing lists this is unnecessary.

Add mailbox (user-defined) to domains with no mailbox

Some addresses in a list may be absolutely unrecoverable, e.g.:

NetSoap <netsoap.com>

Jane Smith <http://www.jsmith.com>

mycorp.net

Sergio <mailto:sergio.com>

MLW cannot detect a mailbox if it is not contained in an address. If this option is disabled, all addresses of the kind will be considered invalid. If the option is enabled and a mailbox is defined (e.g. "info"), the addresses will be restored as follows:

NetSoap <info@netsoap.com>

Jane Smith <info@jsmith.com>

info@mycorp.net

Sergio <info@sergio.com>

Remove user-defined substring.

MLW will attempt to remove the defined substring from all addresses in the list, both correct and incorrect ones (prior to the restore procedure). The string is case-sensitive (if you set it to "REMOVEIT", the substring "RemoveIt" won't be removed). The substring is searched for throughout the entire address line, including address owner name, if any.

Recovery emails by known domains list

If this option is enabled, MLW will recovery emails without first-level domain like mike@hotmail, jane@aol to mike@hotmail.com and jane@aol.com. You can add any number of domains to domains list.

Remove known 'REMOVEIT' substrings

This option may affect on valid emails. Addresses like mikeREMOVEIT@hotmail.com and jane@NOSPAMaol.com are syntactically correct and may exist. If this option is on, MLW will try to recovery such emails to mike@hotmail.com and jane@aol.com.

Verify emails by first-level domains list

It is the simple check procedure, it compare the first-level domain (e.g., '.com' for jane@somesite.domain.com) with all domains in list. But it helpful to remove 'antispam jokes' in mailing lists, like hahaha@dont.spam, someone@invalid.address and so on.

Delete unrecovered addresses

If the option is disabled, an address which recovery failed would be written in the destination file unchanged.
