Mailman Listservs
A listserv allows members to send an email to many people at the same time. List members can reply to the entire group, using the listserv name.
Use a listserv only when you need a private list, or if some members don't have OHSU email accounts.
- A listserv can contain both OHSU users and external users
- It is managed by on individual (the owner)
- A listserv can be made private, so only certain individuals can send to it
- If it is a public list, whoever knows the address can send messages to it
| Note: Distribution groups meet most customer's needs. |
