How a list becomes inactive

An IU List becomes inactive when it:

• Has had no correspondence activity for 18 months or more: If an IU List has had no correspondence activity on it for 18 months or more, Campus Communications Infrastructure (CCI) considers it dormant and closes the list.

  List owners have 90 days to appeal and request the list be re-activated before it is deleted. To appeal, contact the IU Support Center.

• Has no privileged owner with a valid University account: A list without a privileged owner with a valid University account is considered inactive, and will be removed during the annual list cleanup if a new privileged owner is not set.

  Mail lists are expected to have at least one valid University account as a privileged owner. If an IU List has no privileged owner, the list's owners will receive notification to correct this by adding an active University account as a privileged owner. If not corrected, the IU List administrators will close the list and inform the owner(s).

Yearly list purge

Inactive lists are reviewed during an annual IU List cleanup in late spring or early summer, and are closed at the discretion of IU List administrators.

Inactive lists closed during the annual cleanup are not immediately purged; list owners have 90 days to appeal and request their list be re-activated before it is purged.
