How to use the seminary email lists

There are 18 possible lists for employees and students at the two seminaries. These should cover most combinations of people. Please try to use the appropriate list for your intended audience. Normally you should not have to send to more than one list at a time. Also try to avoid adding more than one or two outside recipients to list postings, Since the spam filtering on these lists is rightly suspicious of email with a long list of recipients. Our lists are ain this form: population@domain so you really only need to remember six populations and three domains. To decide which of the eighteen lists you want, pick one of the six populations and one of the three domains. It may help to visualize this diagram:

Here are some examples of how the system works:

• To send an email to all the faculty, staff, students, & adjuncts of both schools, address it to everybody@sem.earlham.edu.
• To send an email to just faculty, staff, & adjuncts of ESR, address it to employees@esr.earlham.edu.
• To send an email to all the students of both schools address it to students@sem.earlham.edu.
• To send an email to all the employees (faculty, staff, & adjuncts) of Bethany, use employees@bethanyseminary.edu.
• To send to the entire ESR community (students, adjuncts, faculty, and staff) use everybody@esr.earlham.edu.
• To send to the faculty of both schools use faculty@sem.earlham.edu.
