ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I send a message to a LISTSERV mailing list?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Note: IU retired its LISTSERV system in spring 2012, replacing it with IU List, a new mailing list service. See About IU List

To send email to a LISTSERV mailing list, address your message to:

  listname@hostname.domain

Replace listname with the name of the list, and hostname.domain with the name of the Internet host on which the LISTSERV list is based. For example, to send a message to the LISTSERV list NT-DEMO-L at Indiana University Bloomington, you would address your mail to the following address:

  nt-demo-l@indiana.edu

LISTSERV will send the message to all valid addresses on the list. If there are problems with some of the addresses, LISTSERV will return an error message to the list owner.
