Listserv - Email List Hosting

EduTech, as a strategic partner of the North Dakota University System (NDUS), offers access to Listserv e-mail list software. This software creates a very flexible environment to efficiently communicate with large numbers of people.

You could create a list named SDT-OURGROUP and subscribe all the people in your organization to the list. Then when you (or anyone) needs to send mail to these people, simply send the message to SDT-OURGROUP@listserv.nodak.edu and it is distributed to all subscribers. Unlike computer address books (which would have to be updated on every computer in your organization), an e-mail list only needs to be changed one time on the server—changes are effective immediately.

Requesting E-mail Lists

Any staff member of an EduTech member school or organization may request a Listserv e-mail list by filling out the online e-mail list request form. The list owner must have a valid EduTech account and list management must be performed via their SENDIT e-mail address.

Managing E-mail Lists

Lists may be managed via e-mail or the web. For most purposes, the web interface is much easier to use.

  1. With your web browser, go to http://listserv.nodak.edu and click on List Owner Management. Log in with your Listserv password.
  2. If you do not have a Listserv password (or do not remember what it is) click on the link to “Get a New Listserv Password”. You’ll be given instructions on how to change and validate a password for list management.
  3. Once you have logged in to the List Owner Management section, you can type the name of your list (for example SDT-OURGROUP) into the space provided and click on the appropriate button to manipulate the subscribers, configuration (advanced list owners only please), and other functions.
  4. Any changes you make to the list are active immediately after you click “OK” or “Submit” or similar button on the editing page.
