Adding and Subtracting Lists

You may have several lists in List Manager that you want to combine into a new list. Or, you may have already combined several lists in List Manager and want to delete one list from a combined list. List Manager provides the capability of managing multiple lists.

Both lists must be mailable lists to perform the Add or Subtract operation. For example, each list must contain an rcp_email column. For information about mailing list requirements, see Creating a Mailing List.
