Distribution Lists

A distribution list is a public email address that automatically sends received messages to a collection of contacts. It allows you to create an address — say marketing@sandiego.edu — that you can list on the USD website that does not change as employees enter or leave the university. A message sent to this distribution list goes to all recipients listed in the distribution list.

At USD we do not have the ability to provide groups or organizations with their own email account and inbox, so distribution lists are utilized to provide e-mail distribution to a specific set of employees or student workers to satisfy an official University business purpose. Use of DL's also provides business continuity for the business purpose in the event of staffing changes. Only valid USD E-mail addresses can be supported.
