BCM + Publisher newsletter + unsubcribe function

S

Hello,
Canada's new anti-spam law require an unsubcribe function for any
newsletters sent to subscribers. I use BCM and a customized newsletter
template from MS Publisher. Is there any way to add an un-subscribe function
to BCM? Any ideas that would accomplish the same thing? I want to avoid going
to an online BCM system as all the hard work I have done over the past year
to categorize my BCM list will be lost during export to an online system such
as Constant Contact.

That's what the ListBuilder feature in BCM is for. It supports all the
unsubscribe features required by law.

Thanks for your response, but I knew that already. I want to avoid having to
export and rebuild my lists - this is very time consuming. If I go to List
Builder, or MyMailout (Canada provider), I have to create a CSV file and do
considerable manipulation of my e-mail database before exporting this file.
It sort of defeats the whole purpose of Outlook's BCM.

My question still stands - is there a workaround? or a 3rd party add-on that
can be used?

ListBuilder uses BCM files, not CSV, so all the Contact info in BCM
gets uploaded to ListBuilder. You can do a certain amount of filtering
of the BCM Contacts on the ListBuilder site.

BCM v3 will support doing filtering on the client, before uploading to
ListBuilder.
