Send a Message to a List

To send a message to everyone subscribed to a list, address your message to listname@lists.colorado.edu, obviously replacing the word listname with the actual name of your list.

For example, to send a message to everyone subscribed to the list dedicated to discussions of bungee jumping, you would address your email like so:

bungee@lists.colorado.edu

Outgoing E-mail Address In order to successfully send an e-mail to a list that you are subscribed to you must send the e-mail with the outgoing e-mail address that you subscribed to the list with. For example if you subscribed to the list with ralphie.buffalo@colorado.edu, the e-mail message to the list must come from ralphie.buffalo@colorado.edu In order to find out what address you subscribed to the list with ask the owner of the list

Remember that this will go to a whole list of people, so be sure you are considerate of this fact and don't misuse the list.

• If you are having a conversation with just one person on the list, just send to that person.
• Don't send your unsubscribe or other commands to the list, thereby spamming everyone who is subscribed to the list.
• And, most of all, be reasonable and courteous in your treatment of others.
