What email lists exist? Who can send to them?
We have several mailing lists, which are updated automatically. These lists are:
| all.employees@NebrWesleyan.edu | Combined list of all.faculty and all.staff |
| all.faculty@NebrWesleyan.edu | Employees in faculty positions and selected administrative staff (facfull & facpart combined) |
| all.staff@NebrWesleyan.edu | Employees in staff positions, which may include some faculty |
| facfull@NebrWesleyan.edu | Full-time faculty & selected administrators |
| facpart@NebrWesleyan.edu | Part-time faculty & selected administrators |
| students@NebrWesleyan.edu | All students; limited to selected senders |
In the case of 'students', your E-mail address must be included on the authorized senders list. For most other lists, anyone on the all.employees list may send to any of the employee (faculty/staff) lists. Occasionally, someone sends a message to all.employees or 'students' and they are not on the list of authorized senders. These messages are 'bounced' to the Administrative Systems Manager for approval or other action.
Mail sent to these lists should conform to all applicable policies and guidelines, including "Appropriate Use". Senders are responsible for message content, as the lists are not moderated.
We have regularly scheduled processes that update the E-mail lists. Although the list management software could support 'subscribe' and 'unsubscribe' functions, most lists are 'closed' - membership is determined by the update processes and individuals can neither subscribe nor unsubscribe.
Some of the lists are combined. For example, all.employees includes full-time, part-time, faculty and staff. The combined list is unduplicated, so that each address appears only once. Rather than send mail to 'all.faculty; all.staff' send to 'all.employees'. Anyone who happens to be included on more than one sub-list will appreciate not getting duplicate E-mails.
The student lists are limited to specific, authorized senders. Most other lists will accept mail from anyone on the all.employees list. Otherwise, most lists allow anyone on the list to send to the list. You'll generally just send to one of the lists.
Messages are limited to a size of one megabyte or less, so a text-only format is preferred.
