Two types of shared mailing lists are available to students, faculty, and staff: Lotus Notes Groups and Listservs.

Listservs are the traditional Internet mailing lists that have been around for years. They run on an LSoft Listserv Management Server available at listserv.american.edu. 小蓝视频's listserv lists use the address format of listname@listserv.american.edu.

Lotus Notes Groups have the advantage of being easy to manage from within the Lotus Notes client, but listservs offer more security and distribution options. Listservs can also be archived. For large mailing lists, we recommend the traditional listserv. We do ask, however, that list owners not subscribe anyone without their permission. For e-mails that are to be sent to all students, faculty, or staff within a specific department, please contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.

Please keep in mind that you can also create your own mailing lists in your personal address book. If you want a one-way announcement list that only you can send to, create the list in your personal address book. If you want a one-way announcement list that multiple specific individuals can post to, ask the IT Help Desk to create a Lotus Notes Group in the 小蓝视频 Name and Address Book. If you need archives or you want to have a discussion group that allows any member to post to it, request a traditional listserv.
