What does “MACRO/TAG ERROR” mean in the mailing list “SendStatus” column?

“MACRO/TAG ERROR” means that for some |tag| in your message template, either: 1) there is no macro or mailing list column named “tag”, or 2) a macro named “tag” is defined but there is no rule that evaluates to “true” for this recipient’s mailing list values. Normally this error will be detected as soon as you click on the recipient in the mailing list and CustomMailer won’t enable the “Send” button until it is fixed. However, if you are in the middle of sending mail in “fully automated” mode, rather than stop the batch sending operation, the “MACRO/TAG ERROR” message is displayed in the “SendStatus” column so CustomMailer can continue with the remaining recipients. This feature can be used deliberately to not send mail for mailing list rows containing invalid data.
