Powered by Google, New Service Helps You Send Emails to a Group

Introducing a modern and easy-to-use option for managing group emails.

University IT (UIT) is excited to introduce a newly reinvigorated Google Groups mailing list management service, which supports Stanford’s mailing list management needs and is now the recommended solution for list management.

All Stanford community members with a full-service SUNetID can request a Google Groups mailing list by submitting the new provisioning form. Step-by-step instructions for how to manage a list and FAQs will help you quickly get up to speed using the new service.

Compare your options

Although we strongly encourage you to create new mailing lists with Google Groups, certain functionality is only supported in Mailman. Therefore, Mailman will continue to be offered as a legacy service. We’ve created an information page to help you understand when you might need to use Mailman.

Phasing out Mailman

Mailing lists play a vital role in day-to-day operations at Stanford, so it’s important we use a service that’s modern and reliable.

For years, we relied on Mailman for list service management; however, it resides on a highly customized platform that is practically impossible to upgrade. Consolidating our lists in Google Groups will enhance service capability and reduce security risks.
