sympa list

This fall, Information and Educational Technology (IET) begins an audit and cleanup of Sympa email lists, an IET-managed service that provides email lists (a.k.a. listservs) to the campus community. An email list or listserv is a distribution list allowing a group of subscribers to automatically receive email messages sent to the list.

UC Davis has updated its policy governing mailing lists to better align with other University of California and UC Davis policies on uses of proprietary electronic communications. The updates to PPM 310-18, Email Lists and Mass Electronic Messaging cover topics including who may serve as the administrator or owner of a campus mailing list and the university’s approach to closing mailing lists that are out of compliance with policy.
