How Do I Send an E-mail to a Group Mailing List?

Provided that you have been granted permissions to do so, you can send to a group mailing list in the same way you send to an individual.  The only difference is the portion of the address after the "@" symbol.  Group Mailing lists end in the following suffixes:

• @cloud.dartmouth.edu
• @list.dartmouth.edu
• @listserv.dartmouth.edu

How Can I Find a User's E-mail Address Inside of Dartmouth?

There are three different ways to get people's e-mail addresses.

Click the To field in an e-mail message window and bring up the Global Address List. Within this search window, you can use the Name Only or More Columns options. The More Options selection permits you to search by last name, incomplete first name, and is generally more flexible than the Name Only option.

Alternatively, use the DND Lookup tool and click on the users e-mail address that you just looked up. It should open an e-mail window addressed to that person.

Another option is to type in a person's name in the To field, and click the Check Addresses icon on your toolbar. This should present you options to resolve the e-mail address and put the name in your To field with an underline. The underline indicates the address is complete.
