Additional Information: 

Electronic mailing lists (email lists, also known as discussion groups) offer a highly efficient way to both disseminate information to a large number of people and hold long-distance discussions among many people. They are commonly used by UW students, faculty, and staff to communicate.

Email lists may be established for UW students, faculty, or staff who need a list to further their work at the University of Washington. Staff ownership and use of email lists is subject to the approval of their departments and supervisors.

All email lists must have at least one owner who is a current UW student, faculty, or staff. Additional owners do not have to be affiliated with the UW. All email list owners (including owners not affiliated with the UW) must have a valid UW NetID. 

Service Level Description: 

Setting up a Mailman list gives you an email address of the form <listname> @u.washington.edu  A special computer server processes mail sent to this address, screening it according to rules established for the list. It then distributes a copy of the message to every list member. List owners can manage their lists, adding and deleting list members and making changes to how the list operates via an administrative Web page set up for their list.
