Create, Delete, or Rename Lists Function Disabled
Posted: 10-22-2009, 4:45 p.m.
Due to the implementation of Identity Manager, the list application is currently disabled. At this time, the ability for you or ITS to create, delete, or rename a list is not possible. This ability will return at an unknown later date.

Exisiting lists will still work and subscribers can still send and receive messages. Likewise, list owners can still manage lists. Click here to learn more about list management.

To learn more about Identity Manager go to www.colorado.edu/its/idm.

This documentation describes how to use the list processing software called Listproc that runs on the ITS system lists.colorado.edu. This software allows subscribers to send messages to e-mail lists, which local list owners manage themselves.

List processing software allows people to create shared mailing lists for the purpose of efficiently sending information or having discussions among members of a particular group or community. Institutions around the world maintain millions of these discussion groups. ITS maintains the campus list processor at CU-Boulder, serving thousands of active discussion and informational lists with close to 200,000 list subscribers in total.

To get a listing of all the lists available from the ITS list processing software, send an email message to listproc@lists.Colorado.edu. Leave the Subject: line blank, and in the body of the message type:

lists

Keep in mind that the response you get will be a large email, since it will contain a couple thousand list names. Also note that many lists are not public, so you may have to get the list owner's approval to join.
