# How to choose newsletter recipients?

You choose contacts you’d like to send a newsletter to within the **Recipients** step of your newsletter editor. You can refine your recipient list by **including** or **excluding** contacts, or group of contacts you’ve created in your account.

To include recipients you’ll be able to:

*   choose specific recipients from your contacts list
*   choose between lists or choose all lists
*   choose between or select all [segments](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-a-segment.html).

I’ve selected multiple lists to send a newsletter to. Are contacts who are in multiple lists going to receive duplicate messages?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your contacts won’t receive multiple newsletters if they are in multiple lists. The **GetResponse** system checks for duplicates and sends only one newsletter to recipients whose email address is in several lists.
