Mailing Lists
This feature simplifies sending mass mail, allowing you to type a single address to send mail to multiple email addresses. It is important to note that the mailing lists are handled by an application called Mailman. For more information regarding Mailman, please visit http://www.list.org/.
Note: Mailman lists are made public by default. To protect any information sent through a list, it is recommended that the list be made private through the Mailman interface.
