Email Lists Information

Summary

Exchange Distribution Lists and ListServ mailing lists both enable mass email communication, but differ in flexibility and usage. Exchange lists are best for stable, internal-only groups, while ListServ supports customizable lists that can include both internal and external recipients.

Body

Purpose:

Exchange Distribution Lists and ListServ mailing lists are the most common ways for mass email communication. They both allow for the distribution of messages among a group and can send to hundreds of email addresses. However, there are some distinct differences. Please review the differences in the table below to help you determine which type of list best meets your needs.

How to Fix:
  • Exchange Distribution lists are best used for sending information to groups where the list membership does not change that often. Exchange Distribution Lists are limited to only users inside UHD.
  • ListServ mailing lists let you configure the lists to your needs and can be configured to any size group. ListServ allows you to send to both internal and external users.
