Physical Address Properties

The Physical address properties will be automatically attached to the bottom of your templates. It is a requirement by CAN SPAM Act.
The values from the General tab along with the Physical address will be used each time you send to a specific list. It also means that you can have different physical addresses used in different lists. An agency that manages multiple lists on behalf of their customers usually use this feature.
Please, note that list properties are defaulted to your account, unless you update them.
