Create an IU List mailing list
Before you begin
Usually the person (or account) who creates a new IU List mailing list adds themselves as a privileged owner. All privileged owners with valid University accounts are considered to be the list’s sponsors. Lists may have multiple owners and moderators, but only privileged owners with a valid University account can rename or close a mailing list.
Each list should always have at least one privileged owner with a valid University account. A list without a privileged owner is considered inactive, and if a new privileged owner is not set, the list will be removed during the annual list cleanup. If there is only one privileged owner, that owner must have a valid University account, see About Inactive IU Lists.
If an IU List mailing list has had no correspondence activity for at least 18 months, or if the list has no privileged owner, it is considered inactive; see About Inactive IU Lists.
As the owner of a mailing list at Indiana University, you have full responsibility for actively monitoring and maintaining the list. The subject matter covered by the list is up to you. By agreeing to own a mailing list, you assume the responsibility of day-to-day monitoring and operation of the list. It is your job to ensure that the list continues to run smoothly and that all participants adhere to university policies and follow the list's stated objectives. You will be expected to subscribe to the list and monitor the discussions to ensure that the list is serving its intended purpose.
