Mailing List / Listserv

Mailing list/listserv services are provided through the use of the GNU Mailman software package. There is a web-based administrative interface for list administrators. Lists can be moderated or unmoderated. All e-mail going to the lists are scanned for viruses and spam prior to delivery. List members can self-register or be administrator-added, depending on the list configuration.

New lists may only be requested by full-time faculty/staff, and must support the mission of the University.*

To set up a mailing list (listserv), email a request for a New Mailing List to it-help@fsu.edu, and include the following information:

• The Name that you would like the list to have:
  • Should conform to internet email standards, containing only letters, numbers, and dashes or underscores.
  • The list name will be used to create the list email address - listname@lists.fsu.edu.

• The email address(es) of the owner(s):
  • The owner(s) email address(es) must be in the fsu.edu domain.
