How To: Approve A Message To A Moderated LISTSERV List

Description

If you need to send an email to a large number of recipients, we recommend requesting a mailing list. The University uses LISTSERV to create and manage electronic mailing lists.

If you request a moderated list, messages will have to be approved by any of the moderators listed for that list. This illustrated article describes how to approve a message sent to a moderated list.
