Email Lists What is an Email List? An email list is a group of addresses which can all be reached using a single email address. Mailing lists are like a group discussion, but more specific in nature than a newsgroup. They are administered by an email list server program residing on the CSTL server.
How does it work? Registered users can write an email addressed to the list (the list itself has an email address) and the program will take care of the message distribution. Any reply to the message will also be distributed to the group, so everyone follows the discussion, being able to post comments or ideas at any time. How do I set up lists for my classes? Just contact the CSTL and we'll configure lists for you. Click here to send us a message. |
The
email list server is a program
that automates the administration of mailing lists. Email messages are sent to the server
which, in turn, sends the messages to all subscribers on the list. To help automate the
administration of the list, mailing list servers accept control messages from mailing list
subscribers to subscribe, unsubscribe, and perform other mailing list functions. Mailing
list servers usually run 24 hours a day to keep the flow of mail to the list
constant.
