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.

  1. Log into CAM==
  2. Create a New List
    From this screen:
      • New groups can be created
      • Current subscriptions can be reviewed
      • Current subscriptions can be deleted
      • The user can subscribe to new groups.
    To create the new group, click on the Create a New List button.
  3. Name the Group
    • Name the new group
      • Be sure to omit spaces and all special characters. They are not allowed.
      • A -l will be added to the end of the name, creating the address of the new list to access later.
  4. Add Addresses to the List
    • Add email addresses to the list.
      • Enter only one address per line.
        • Any addresses without a domain will be automatically assigned the domain username@et.byu.edu.
  5. Add Editors
    • Add editors to the list if the editor has to recieve the email also, they must be a subscriber also
    • This is especially important if there are more than one editors
    • Neither will recieve emails unless they are also subscribers
  6. Set Security Settings
    • Set desired list security.
    • Depending on the needs of each specific mailing list, it would be a bad option to allow subscribers access to use it.
  7. Create the List
    • The List is finished, simply click the Create Group button.
    • You will have to wait a few minutes for the system to finish applying the changes to the group.
    • After the system is updated emails are sent by composing an email in your preferred browser. Set the Recipient as listname-l@et.byu.edu. It will be forwarded accordingly to all members of that list.

How to Edit existing Mailing Lists

  • Click on the Edit button next to the group that you wish to edit.
  • Follow the steps above to edit configuration setting.
