Changes to IU List from the One Mail initiative

On this page:


Overview

Indiana University will be transitioning to a single email domain, iu.edu, between now and the end of 2025. For more about the transition, see One Mail. For general actions you may need to take, see Prepare for One Mail at IU.

Most IU List subscribers will likely see minimal or no impact to IU List from this initiative, but if you post to discussion lists or use self-service features, or if you own or moderate any lists, see below for details about what will change.

For owners and moderators

  • If you own lists on any campus-specific domains, you'll need to rename them. You can coordinate the best time to migrate your list(s) with your community of subscribers; be sure to let subscribers know when they should begin to use the new list address. For instructions, see Rename an IU List mailing list.
  • If you use email commands to perform actions such as adding and removing subscribers or moderating messages, the email addresses you use will also change to use iu.edu as the email domain when each list is renamed.
  • If you use the web interface to make changes to the subscriber list or list settings, you'll use https://list.iu.edu/ instead of the campus-specific webpage for each list as it's renamed.

For subscribers

The One Mail project may impact you in the following ways:

  • If you're subscribed to mailing lists with your campus domain address, the subscription and your primary email address will need to change to your iu.edu address, preferably at the same time. You can wait for UITS to make this change for you, or manage the timing yourself. For details, see Prepare for One Mail at IU.
  • The address you use to post to discussion lists will change from listname-l@campus.edu to listname-l@iu.edu. The timing of this change may vary from list to list; watch for communication from the list owner for when to begin using the new address.
  • If you use email commands to perform actions such as subscribing, unsubscribing, or changing your subscription settings, the email addresses you use will also change to use iu.edu as the email domain when each list is renamed.
  • If you use the web interface to make changes such as subscribing, unsubscribing, or changing your subscription settings, you'll begin using https://list.iu.edu/ instead of the campus-specific webpage for each list as it's renamed.
