Send a mail to a mailing list
To mail a mailing list, put the list's address, such as allstaff@acme.in, in To and click Send. If the list is moderated, you see "Your mail requires moderation, after moderation it will be sent automatically". A moderator then approves, edits or rejects it. A rejected mail is moved to Trash in your mailbox.
How to send a mail to a mailing list
- Open Compose Mail and enter the mailing list address in To.
- Write the mail and click Send.
- If the list is moderated, wait for a moderator to approve it. It is sent automatically after approval.
When to use it
Mails to the 5,000-member all-employees list at acme.in must be approved by Corporate Communications. When Rohan sends a canteen notice to the list, it waits until a moderator checks and releases it.
Good to know
- Some lists allow only moderators to post.
- Every list member counts towards your daily sending limit, if you have one.
- Moderators see held mail in the Pendings category and can Send to Mailing List, edit or discard it.
Common questions
Can I get a delivery report for a mailing list mail?
No. Delivery reports are not available for mail sent to a mailing list.
Why was my mail to the list moved to Trash?
A moderator disallowed it. Ask the list's moderator why, change the mail and send it again.
