Services :: Majordomo List Server
Overview
Majordomo List Server is available for use by Humboldt State University faculty and staff members.
A List Server (Majordomo), also called a "bulk mailer", is a server that manages "lists" made up of email addresses and sends mail to the lists. A mail message can be sent to the "list name", and it will go out to all addresses contained in the list.
List Types:
Open - An open list allows anyone, from anywhere to subscribe.
Closed - A closed list requires authorization of the list owner for each subscription.
Moderated - All messages in a moderated list require approval of the list owner or moderator prior to being distributed to list members. Both open and closed lists can be moderated.
Course List - Class members are subscribed automatically, and the list will be deleted at the end of the requested semester. The course list name will automatically be set up as hsu - subject and course number - section number.
Course List Example - The course list is generated from the class schedule using the requested semester, year, and crn. (Example: semester=Fall, year=00, crn=40038, subject=MATH, course=044, section=2, list name=hsu-math044-2).
