An e-mail alias (or e-mail list) is a special e-mail address used to send e-mail to a group of one or more e-mail addresses. An e-mail alias works by forwarding the group e-mail to each individual address.
We use a web based tool for managing and maintain e-mail alaises here at ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅. The tool is available on the [.
Creating an Alias
- Go to
- In "Create a List," type in the name of your desired list. The name can be anything, but is most often something descriptive of the group (i.e. chess-club).
- Under "Recipients," add the email addresses of all those you wish to be in the list. If it is a ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ email address, you only need to type in their username (jdoe). If it is an email address from another server, enter in the full address (jdoe@hotmail.com).
- Add Administrators. Administrative privileges allow the user to edit the list.
Mailman
Some larger, official ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ e-mail lists require advanced options, and use a different system called Mailman. If you believe you need such a list, please contact the Technology Helpline to discuss it further.
