The Synchronize Lists tool is used to synchronize Kavi® application databases with the ezmlm Subscriber Lists for one or more mailing lists. Many mailing lists allow users to add or remove subscriptions by ezmlm email commands. These commands directly affect the ezmlm Subscriber Lists, but the changes aren't immediately propagated to the Kavi Mailing List Manager or Kavi® Members databases for performance reasons. Instead, database synchronization is handled by batch operations. By default, synchronization operations run automatically on a nightly basis (in the server's local time zone), but the Synchronize Lists tool can be used to synchronize databases with the updated Subscriber Lists as the need arises.

On the other hand, when an account holder changes their email address through Kavi Members tools, the Kavi Mailing List Manager database and ezmlm Subscriber Lists are updated immediately.

This tool can be used when a lot of new subscriptions have been added by email because of a promotional campaign and you want account holders to be able to access their new subscriptions through the My Mailing Lists page.
