Mailman - Listserv System

Use of a listserv, such as our mailman system, can streamline communication, enhance collaboration and build community within SHSU organizations and interest groups.

What is a listserv?

A listserv is an email service that works like a distribution list with some added advantages. A listserve provides:

• Efficient Communications: The ability to reach a large group of people instantly via email.
• Centralized Information Hub: By subscribing to a list, users can ensure they receive all relevant communications in one place.
• Customizable Subscriptions: Users can chose their level of engagement by opting to receive messages in real time or a daily digest.
• Archiving and Searchability: Messages sent to the listserv are archived in the system making it easy to search for past discussions or information.
