Distribution lists
What is a distribution list?
It's a list of multiple email recipients that are grouped to create a single recipient by using an 1) Alias Address.
Why do we use it?
To simplify the way, we send bulk emails by eliminating the need to add multiple recipients’ email addresses to a single email.
Example:
Suppose you want to email all the staff members of Lorraine Primary School, instead of adding the address of each staff member individually, you enter one address (staff@lorraineschool.co.za) that acts as a container for all staff addresses.
The IT Department has created the following groups to simplify bulk email messaging within the Lorraine Primary School domain. These addresses are for internal use only.
| GROUP NAME | ALIAS | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| Lorraine Staff | staff@lorraineschool.co.za | All staff members |
| Foundation Phase | foundation@lorraineschool.co.za | Only Foundation Phase staff |
| Intersen Phase | intersen@lorraineschool.co.za | Only Intersen Phase staff |
| Grade Heads | gradeheads@lorraineschoo.co.za | Only Grade Heads |
| Subject Heads | subjectheads@lorraineschool.co.za | Only Subject Heads |
| Sports Heads | sportsheads@lorraineschool.co.za | Only Sports Heads |
| Senior Management Team | smt@lorraineschool.co.za | Only the SMT |
| Discipline Committee | discipline@lorraineschool.co.za | Only Discipline Committee |
| Administration | admin@lorraineschool.co.za | All School Office members |
NOTE: The addresses above are for internal use only and cannot be reached by third parties outside the lorraineschool.co.za domain.
