The CAEDM Groups video covers creating and using mailing lists. See time mark 4:47 for instructions on creating a mailing list.
Group Mailing Lists is a system offered by CAEDM that allows a user to send mass emails to all members of a group quickly and efficiently. This is especially useful for professors or group leaders to communicate with all of the members of a project group or research group, but it is available to all CAEDM users to use as they need. Instead of keeping long lists of email addresses to copy and paste into the recipient's box of an email, the sender can simply type listname-l@et.byu.edu and the email will send to all of the members of that list.
This can be useful to professors with several hundred students that have to receive emails together, to leaders of research groups or clubs that have to send mass emails to the group members and to people that just send emails to small groups of people with high frequency.
Different permissions are assigned to different members of the list.
