Changes to Distribution mailing lists - Tuesday 18 April

Changes to internal mailing lists

From Tuesday 18th April, access to mailing lists and the display name format all will be changing. This applies to:

  • Module & Programme  
  • Dept & School  
  • Hall

Access: These lists will only be accessible in Outlook and Outlook online from the ‘Address book’ Global Address List option. Access to lists online via https://lists.lboro.ac.uk/  will no longer be available.

List name: The display name format of lists will also be changing, e.g., all Module & Programme lists will have a prefix of ‘Module’ or ‘Prog’

This will also apply to department and School lists:

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.

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.
