Mailman mailing lists

You can use UVic's Mailman server to manage electronic mailing lists. These lists have been used for newsletters, clubs and communities of practice. We are no longer creating new lists on the Mailman service.

The future of Mailman

Mailman is no longer in active development. We anticipate a need to retire this service in the foreseeable future.

There are many more options for online newsletters and communities than there were when Mailmal launched. For example:

  • Our email system supports distribution groups for internal communications.
  • Brightspace has better messaging tools for courses.
  • Teams provides a more robust platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
  • Other commercial platforms have become popular choices for regional, national and global communities.
If you want to create a newsletter or online community and aren't working with personal or sensitive data, there are probably better choices. Contact us if you'd like to discuss your options.
