Mailing List

Google Groups
Important
As of Friday, April 10, 2206 the Mailman service has been retired. Mailing lists have been migrated to Google Groups.

Do you frequently send emails to the same group of people within the campus community? If so, a mailing list management service can simplify the process. Academic and administrative workgroups, student clubs and organizations, project groups, and committees can all use a mailing list service to create and manage lists and to send email to list members.

The mailing list service uses Google Groups. The service provides built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, spam and content filtering, and digest delivery.
