<p dir="ltr">You are absolutely correct. This is our current process and as the number of aliases grows the amount of time required to post this also grows. <br></p>

>> Some subscribers have hundreds of aliases and a few with well over a thousand. I am concerned with this process as the count aliases on subscribers continues to grow. Is there a better way to post large amounts of aliases to subscribers through the api. Also is there a way to post aliases directly to the database.<br>
