      Article summary

      This job sends a prepared message to an email address or a server. The message must first be saved as a prepared message (see Save Draft as Prepared Message​).

      This job sends single messages. All of the single messages share the same message ID. This means that only one sendout appears in the outbox. Single messages are evaluated together in the statistics. Statistics for a single message are found in the ​Single Message Statistics Overview window (see Single Message Statistics Overview (window)​).

      If the prepared message is sent to an email address, the recipient does not have to be a member of the group in which the prepared message is saved. The recipient is not added to the group.
