The account assigned to the Direct Mailer service must have access to the Direct Mailer database.

The following security permissions are involved in running the Direct Mailer service:

  • Permission to start the Direct Mailer service. This is a Windows domain permission.
  • Permission to start and use the List Manager service. This is a Windows domain permission.

The Direct Mailer service account requires the following permissions when Commerce Server is configured to use Windows Authentication.

In addition, the Direct Mailer service must have Write permissions (ACLs) on the following files:

Winnt\system32\logfiles folders

Write permissions are required on these files so Direct Mailer can create and write to a log file, and send mails (it requires permissions to the drop location).
