Requesting a new list

To request a new list, do not use the New List option in the listserv.

Instead, send email to support@uakron.edu to open a ticket with the IT Helpdesk.   You should include:

1. The name of the list.   Ex. something-something@lists.uakron.edu  The “-” in the name is a convention of the lists.  Do not include spaces, special characters, or uppercase letters.

2. A title for the list to help identify it.  Ex. “UA Webteam Update List

3. Names and email addresses of the owners.  These individuals will be able to send to the list and to modify the list membership as needed. For Broadcast/Newsletter lists, these are the only valid senders.

4. Format.  Primarily, these are Broadcast or Discussion.  More information on Formats

If you have a spreadsheet of subscriber email addresses and (optionally) names, send those along with the list set-up information to be bulk loaded into the list to help speed up the set-up process for you.
