Discussion Forum Interface

If you are subscribed to a Lyris™ Mailing list you can interact with that list through a web interface. You can access the discussion forum interface by going to the server’s main discussion forum URL.
Examples: https://cts.lmsslsecure.com/read/?forum=listname or https://cts.lmsslsecure.com/read/

Depending on the forum you are subscribed too the forum may require that you log in to view messages. Other forums may require that you log in to post a message to the forum. If this is the case, you will be prompted to provide your email address and password. Clicking on “My Account” in the left navigation menu will take you to the login screen.

How Our Message Pricing Works

  1. Included Monthly Messages
    Each plan comes with a certain number of included messages at a standard size (up to 40K per email).
  2. Overage Rate
    After you’ve sent all your included messages, each additional 1,000 emails costs $0.90.
  3. What If an Email Is Larger Than 40K?
    • We measure every extra 1K of data beyond 40K as an extra fraction of a message.
    • Example: A 50K email counts as 1.25 messages (because 50K is 1.25 × 40K).
    • This prevents rounding up to a full extra 40K block when you only need 10K more.
  4. Covered by Your Monthly Fee
    • All administrative and automated list messages (welcome emails, unsubscribe confirmations, surveys, etc.)
    • Access to features like archives, refer-a-friend, click/open tracking, feedback loops, and more.
