New Email Distribution List Service

A new service has been introduced for the central dissemination of information to staff and students of the University via e-mail. ISD controls a number of ‘bulk’ distribution lists that allow messages to be targeted at large groups such as ‘All Staff’. Messages to large groups such as this require authorization from a Dean or Head Of Department. The message should be sent, along with the authorization, to the Helpdesk which will distribute the message on the user’s
behalf.

The list service is also a tool available to any University staff member wishing to set up private lists to facilitate communication between groups of staff and/or students within the University and beyond.

Lists must be used strictly for academic purposes and conform to the University’s Acceptable Computer Use Policy. Private lists are maintained and managed by individual nominated staff members via a convenient secure web-interface. There are some restrictions placed on private lists. For further information and other Frequently Asked Questions about the new list service please go to:
