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.

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.
