Mailing lists are a good way to send a message or series of messages to many people at once. For example, many companies use mailing lists to email newsletters, promotional offers, or information about product updates to subscribers.

NOTE: The mailing list feature must be enabled for the domain before creating a mailing list. For instructions on how to enable mailing lists, please refer to the KB article How To -- Enable Mailing Lists for Domains.

Follow these steps to create a new mailing list:

1. Log in as the domain administrator.
2. Click the Settings icon.
3. Expand the Domain Settings and Mailing Lists folders.
4. Click Mailing Lists in the left tree view.
5. Click New in the content pane toolbar.
6. Click the List Settings tab and complete the appropriate fields. The Name and Moderator fields are required. All other list settings are optional. NOTE: Setting the Allowed Posters option to Anyone or Subscribers Only can cause spam issues. Generally, Anyone should never be used, and Subscribers Only should be used for digest mode.
7. Click the Options tab and select the appropriate checkbox(es) to enable the desired mailing list options.
8. Click the Throttling tab and complete the appropriate fields to set up and enable the desired throttling settings.
9. Click Save.
