Mailing List Subscription Policy
The email administrators can create a mailing list if the following criteria are met.
- The list is requested by a professor for an academic department or class.
- The list is for an SGA sanctioned group listed on the SGA web page http://sga.wheatoncollege.edu (we limit it to one mailing list per group).
- The list is for a staff group.
To request a mailing list please send an email to cgpro_admins@wheatoncollege.edu . In the email request include the following information
- What should the address of the list be? (ex: amnesty@wheatoncollege.edu)
- Who is the contact for the mailing list? The contact's information will be listed at the bottom of every message sent out to the list.
Many of the existing mailing lists on campus are open for Wheaton users to subscribe themselves and the process is easy. If a mailing list allows self-subscribing you can send a blank email to the address
listname-on@wheatoncollege.edu
For example, if the list address is amnesty@wheatoncollege.edu, you would send a blank email message to amnesty-on@wheatoncollege.edu from your Wheaton College email address. You will then receive an email response from the server, reply to that message and you will be subscribed to the list.
Individuals must subscribe themselves to the mailing lists that allow it, we will not mass import email addresses into a mailing list for you.
One last note, if you are the administrator of a mailing list and you want an outside email address subscribed to the list, have that person (ex: bob@yahoo.com) send and email to cgpro_admins@wheatoncollege.edu and we will contact you to see if its okay. We will manually add the outside email address to the mailing list since we block the auto-subscribe feature from outside addresses to protect ourselves from spammers.
Mailing lists will be reviewed periodically. If a list becomes idle for more than a year it will be removed.
