Revision as of 17:11, 6 November 2012 by Eeeyre (Talk | contribs)



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.

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.

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.

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.

Add Editors

  • Add editors to the list if the editor has to recieve the email also, they must be a subscriber also
  • If there are more than one editors, neither will recieve emails unless they are also subscribers

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.

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.

Editing Group Mailing lists

  • Click on the Edit button next to the group that you wish to edit.
