How do I create an e-mail group and send mail to it?
E-mail groups that anyone can use
Create your e-mail group in the U-M Online Directory. Then you can use any e-mail program to send e-mail to all the members of your group by sending the mail to the group's address. See Managing Groups that You Own in the U-M Online Directory (S4277) for instructions.
E-mail groups that only the members can use
You can request a listserv—a group maintained on a listserver machine. These are usually set so that only members of the listserv can send mail to the group. Groups created in the U-M Online Directory can be converted to listservs on request. See the ITCS Listserver page for details.
E-mail groups that only you can use
Use the address book feature of your e-mail program to create an e-mail group that only you can use. See the documentation for your e-mail program for address book instructions.
