What is a mailing list
A mailing list is a single email address that is associated with multiple recipients. It can be used by an individual or an organization to send one email that is recieved by all subscribed.
There are two types of mailing lists:
Self-managed lists: These can be set up and managed by anyone.
Centrally-managed lists: These are automatically updated daily from our records.
Self-managed lists
Why create a mailing list
- You email the same group of people on a regular basis
- You want to create a singular address through which you can email a group of people simultaneously.
- You want to save time and effort.
Who can create a list
Anyone at the University can create a mailing list and by default anyone on campus can email them.

Please note:
- These lists are for official University business only. They are not to be used for any marketing purposes, whether University-based or otherwise. Please speak to Corporate Communications about advertising events and promotions
- Student lists will be frozen on the last day of summer term and will start being regenerated again on 31st August while all the changes for the new academic year are made by Student Records. Staff can continue to use these lists throughout the summer as they were at the end of the academic year
- When sending messages to a list remember to keep them short, to the point and relevant to the entire group
- These student and staff lists can only be accessed from University mail servers, so if you are off campus, you must either use Webmail or set up your email client (eg. Thunderbird) to send email via the University's servers
