Import Recipient Lists
AY Mail 2. Any Edition
You can import recipient lists from a variety of sources.
ODBC
ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity. ODBC is a
mechanism of accessing arbitrary databases. Most database
applications, such as Microsoft Access, ORACLE, or SQL Server
will have ODBC drivers that will let you connect to the database.

CSV files
CSV is the most common format often used to transfer data
between databases. Most software programs and databases will
let you export recipient data into CSV format, which then can
be imported into AY Mail.
CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. Recipients must be
located inside CSV file one per line, and data fields must be
separated by commas.
