If you need to use the mailing lists in Plesk you first need to enable Mailman or the Mailing Lists Manager. Mailman is not enabled until you create a mailing list. For more information about creating mailing lists, see Adding a Mailing List in Parallels Plesk Panel.

Plesk does not verify the email addresses so make sure they are correct before creating the Mailing List.
