trail which logs all the add/change/delete of records in the
system. |

amended the record, and the date/time making the amendment
via online enquiry screen. |
| Email Address Validation |
The system supports verifying the email address
using different mechanisms. You may select subscribers to
perform email address validation. Different actions (or no
action at all) can be applied to the subscribers with email
address which cannot pass through the validation, e.g. treat
as a hard bounce or soft bounce, etc. The results will be
stored in a report for your reference and/or action. |
