What does Saint Mary's College use for list management, and how do I create and manage a mail distribution list?
Saint Mary's College uses Listserv by L-Soft for our list management system.
All Saint Mary's mailing lists have the address listname@lists.saintmarys.edu.
The College has several primary distribution lists for dissemination of information to employees and students. In addition to the standard addresses of listname@lists.saintmarys.edu, they can also be used via listname@saintmarys.edu.
These lists are:
| allsmc | All current Saint Mary's College employees and students |
| fac-staff | All current Saint Mary's College employees |
| faculty | All current Saint Mary's College faculty |
| staff | All current Saint Mary's College non-faculty employees |

Membership in the above mailing lists is controlled by software. All Saint Mary's faculty and staff with email accounts are automatically permitted to post to the student lists (as well as fac-staff and faculty or staff depending on one's position in the college). Requests for exceptions to these rules should be sent to the Helpdesk.
The subject lines of postings to mailing lists will be prepended with the list's name in square brackets (e.g. "[FAC-STAFF]").
If you would like to request a mailing list on Listserv, please contact the Helpdesk at helpdesk@saintmarys.edu. An IT staff member will respond to determine whether a listserv mailing list or a distribution list controlled by your email software's address book would best meet your needs.
All mailing lists will have the address listname@lists.saintmarys.edu.
Listserv provides its own web interface as well as an email interface (letting you send commands to it in email messages).
