Notice About Recent License/Login Issues

If you are having trouble with your license or logging in, upgrade to version 3.35 now. Download the zip file and then ftp into your site and unpack it into your scotmail directory, overwriting all files.

Project Honeypot: Version 3.35 supports Project Honeypot so you don't have to worry about spammers/bots adding email addresses to your lists. Go to Project Honeypot and sign up for an API key which you can then put into your Scotmail system configuration.

The Scot's Mailing List FAQ entry is not complete. Please look at the FAQ on the old site for more information.
