UBC Mailing Lists

Send emails to large groups of people by creating mailing lists that you can manage or users can subscribe to.

UBC Mailing Lists allow users to send emails to large groups of people, which can take the form of announcements or email discussions. They are best used for groups that may potentially grow in size, or lists of more than a few people.

UBC Mailing Lists is free to use for all faculty and staff.

UBC Mailing Lists offers three list types and features to create custom email messages or newsletters to your growing user base.

Mailing list types

Announcement only – Used for newsletters and announcements. Emails are sent one-way from mailing list administrators to subscribers.

Discussion un-moderated – Used for group discussions. Emails are immediately sent to everyone subscribed to the mailing list.

Discussion moderated – Similar to Discussion Un-moderated, but all messages from subscribers need to be approved and reviewed by a list administrator before being disseminated.
