Changes to Distribution Lists

From Tuesday 18 April, access to mailing lists and the display name format all will be changing

This applies to:

  • Module and Programme  
  • Department and School  
  • Hall

These lists will only be accessible in Outlook and Outlook online from the ‘Address book’ Global Address List option. Access to lists online will no longer be available.

The display name format of lists will also be changing, eg all Module and Programme lists will have a prefix of ‘Module’ or ‘Prog’.

  • Current format - bsub30an@programme.lboro.ac.uk
  • New format - ProgBSUB30AN@programme.lboro.ac.uk  

This will also apply to department and School lists:

  • Current format - ac@dept.lboro.ac.uk  
  • New format - Dept.Creative Arts.All

How to access the Global Address

Select the “To” field in your email body and this presents a pop-up of the Offline Global Address List. Please go to the drop-down under ‘Address Book’ to select the Global Address List.

The example shows a search using “Dept.” showing the results for all Distribution Lists with the Dept. prefix.

Important: Jiscmail service 

If you have created a Jiscmaillist to replace an existing self-managed list, emailing to any of the above lists will not work, as mailing lists outside of the University are not permitted.

More information on the new naming format of a list. 

If you have further questions or queries, please contact the service desk at IT.Services@lboro.ac.uk
