Mailing Lists 
Back to Service CatalogueOverview
A mailing list is a popular and easy way for groups to share information via email. Mailing lists can be moderated or unmoderated, and subscribing to/from lists is simple.
Mailing lists are most effective when there are many subscribers - if you only need a small list, you are probably better off sending an email to multiple recipients. However, if you want to email more than a few people and/or the number of recipients will potentially grow, a mailing list is a useful tool.
