Details

• Exchange Distribution lists are limited to members of the University email system.

Login to the self-service portal with your University user id and password, select Service Catalog, and search for Listserv. Subscribe to a list or create your own and receive all messages sent to the list, adding your own thoughts when you like.

Exchange Distribution Lists

Use a distribution list for University purposes like class discussion, departmental communication, or mass email.

• A simple Exchange Distribution list is owned and maintained by an individual. The list owner adds and deletes members as appropriate. Instructions for creating and maintaining Exchange Distribution Lists are available from Online Tech Support at doitservices.missouri.edu.
• Custom Exchange Distribution Lists are used when you need a larger, targeted audience. In general you will have a custom distribution list created in conjunction with a mass email request. There are times when you may need a custom distribution list created and maintained. The Division of IT makes that service available for a fee.
