What is a Distribution List?

Distribution lists offer the convenience of using one email address to email list members simultaneously.

Individuals who manage a distribution list are called list owners.  List owners are your first resource if you need to be added to a list.

If you are a distribution list owner, you can manage the membership of your distribution list(s) through the Group Membership Manager system.

 

Automatically Created Distribution Lists

Information Technology automatically generates and maintains many distribution lists based on student information in Campus Solutions and staff information in the Department Information Management System (DIMS).

For information about an automatically generated distribution list, such as who (if anyone) can view list membership, who has access to send to the list, and who to contact to request authorization to email the list, please visit the links below.

 

Manually Updated Distribution Lists

Distribution lists like committee group communication lists are manually updated.

For information on how to identify the distribution list owner(s) of a manually updated email the UWSP Postmaster.
