Q. What is a Distribution List?
- Distribution lists allow you to send emails to a group, department, or class. These lists are generated by OIT and are kept current. By default, you are not allowed to use these lists for security reasons. You can make a request at the IT Service Desk for permission to use the lists. Once the department has authorized the request, you will be contacted.
