Two methods for reaching a group

Group email addresses help keep people in-the-loop during discussions, because they allow someone to reach every group member. When people change their email addresses, we just update the list rather than relying on all of the group members to update their email applications. We have two methods for setting up group email addresses.

Fewer than 10 people – Use forwarding

If there are fewer than 10 people in the group, use email forwarding to set up the group email address.

  1. Choose a group email address in this format: CommitteeName.list@euuc.org. The “.list” differentiates this email address from the one that goes to just the committee chairs.
  2. Log into BlueHost and click cPanel.
  3. Under Mail select Forwarders.
  4. Click Add Forwarder.
  5. Enter the first part (before the @) of the email address.
  6. Select euuc.org for the domain (the last part of the address).
  7. Enter the email address of one member of the group.
  8. Click Add Forwarder.

Set up a group email forwarder

  1. On the confirmation page, click Go Back.
  2. Repeat steps 4 – 9 until you have entered all the group members.
  3. To check your work, search for the email address from the Forwarders page. All the forwards you entered should be listed.

More than 10 people – Use a mailing list

When there are 10 or more members of the group, use a mailing list to set up the group email address.

Get the email addresses of the members

Ask the chair or leader for a list of the email addresses they would like to be subscribed to the list. The leader or chair needs to send the list with one address per line, and nothing else. This will enable you to copy and paste the list into the subscription box when you set up the list.

  6. On the confirmation page click Go Back.
  7. On the Mailing Lists page search for the new list.
