Sending once to an unconfirmed list when I want all new to subscribe

[ryan]

I have a list generated by downloads of our app, now we have moved to wordpress and we want to mail all of them one time. I can't say they are confirmed. I want all new people to have to confirm.

I'm wondering how I do this - am i able to send to unconfirmed people even though the setting says everyone needs to confirm?

Or do I import the users as confirmed (even though they are not, techincally), and then when NEW users come on, we put them on a different list, and just never mail to this original list?]]

You can import them in a list as unconfirmed and send a newsletter to not confirmed (see the newsletter targeting filters) with inside a link to confirm (you can use a button with link
{subscription_confirm_url}
that is then replaced with a real link specific for each subscriber. Who remain unconfirmed simply won't receive emaila in the future (you can delete them).

Or simply import them as confirmed and send a newsletter where it's clear why they receive that newsletter and if they want to opt-out they can use the link in the email footer... you probably lost fewer subscribers this way.
