Process of Testing the Email Marketing Components with Siebel Marketing

This topic describes how to test all the Email Marketing components and the Siebel Marketing application together as a complete product. This test involves sending a test email to three or more test contacts. The content of the test email template must include links to test the Click Through Daemon, the Web Marketing Server, and the Events server. Make sure at least two of the contacts are invalid email addresses, one within the corporate domain, and one outside the corporate domain. These test bounce handling and bounce detail communications for the Email Sending Daemon and the Bounce Handler Daemon. Additionally, send email to at least one email account that you can access outside of your corporate network. This tests your Email Sending Daemon, DNS alterations, and corporate firewall configurations.

To perform this comprehensive test of the Email Marketing components, perform the following tasks:

1. Creating the Test Email Template
2. Sending the Test Email Template to Test Contacts
3. Confirming That Tests Function as Expected
