E-lists

What is an E-list?

An e-list (electronic mailing list) is a file of addresses and provides an efficient means of communicating with a large, fairly stable group via e-mail. The list is given a name (e.g., staff) and addresses those whose address appears in the list file will receive messages sent to the list name/address is placed in the To field, CC field, or BCC field (e.g., staff@clunet.edu). This tool is useful for group discussions and/or group announcements.
