Mailing Lists
Mailing lists allow you to send an email message to a single address, and then have that message be automatically delivered to a large group of people. Mailing lists allow easy two-way communication between you and the other members of your mailing list. Lsoft LISTSERV™ is the preferred mailing list application. You can find the web interface at https://lists.rochester.edu.
