Mailing Lists

AMS synchronizes your existing distribution lists from the primary mail system so that, in the event of a disruption, users can continue to send email to and receive email messages from their usual mailing lists. You can also use distribution lists as activation or recovery units. For example, it might be best to activate the members of a building-specific distribution list or to recover a small set of users before a full-scale recovery.

Distribution lists can contain both internal email addresses (users with Email Continuity accounts) and external email addresses.

NOTE

AMS requires that distribution list names contain 128 characters or fewer. Distribution lists with names larger than 128 characters will not receive messages through AMS. Messages sent to these distribution lists will not archive correctly and can prevent messages from being received by other users during an activation. Ensure that the names of all distribution lists and mailing lists in AMS contain 128 characters or fewer.

View mailing lists and members of each list:

  1. In the AMS Admin Console, click Mailing Lists.
  2. To locate a specific mailing list, in the Search box type the email address or name and click Search.
  3. To view the individual members of a mailing list, in the List Name column click the name of the list. The listing expands to include all members. Account members display with full names; external members display with only email addresses.
