Email distribution lists (LISTSERV) streamline communication to subscribers by allowing messages to be sent to an entire group at once using only the email address of the list. Mason provides a LISTSERV application for faculty, staff, and university organizations and departments.
Each list must have a primary owner but may have additional owners as well.

- Sends emails to large groups while concealing email addresses from other members.
- Eliminate the possibility of accidentally using CC instead of BCC while sending to groups.
