How to use the link checker

To validate all hyperlinks use the link checker. This function validates only the html part of your email, you have to check all links in the text part manually.
To start the link checker click in menu Tools on link checker.

Click on "Start link checking" to start the link checker.

please note:

• If you use dial-up network connections, you have to be connected to your provider otherwise the validation will fail.
• If you use a proxy server, please configure your proxy server under menu Tools - Settings, tab proxy server/socks server.
• Email addresses or URLs which not start with http:// won't be validated.
• SuperMailer uses the HTTP command called HEAD to validate a URL. If any web server doesn't support this command (rare!) you will get an error message.

Read the result

All error codes less than 400 are okay, that means URL is correct. Error codes between 400 and 499 means this page doesn't exists or you need a login/password to get access. Any error code greater than 499 indicate problems with this web server.
