List Usage
Click on the list email address from the table or copy/paste to your email client to generate a new message to the desired list. Once you hit "send message", the email will be distributed to all members of the list.
List Restrictions
Most lists are "moderated" which means that the list administrator(s) in CALS IT needs to "release" the sent email messages before the messages are distributed to the list members. This is done to avoid spam being automatically sent to the lists. In addition, there are a few lists designated as "restricted". Sending to these lists will require additional approval from the list owner since these designated lists have specific purposes. All submissions to these lists must also follow UW System Acceptable Use of IT Resources Policy and may be subject to additional review before approval & release to the list is granted.
List Membership
If you are interested in a membership listing for any of the lists above, please send an email to helpdesk@cals.wisc.edu with a brief explanation of intended use.
