Sending Email
Can I use the list with an @department.tamu.edu email address, instead of my @tamu.edu address?
Yes. If you wish to send list emails from your @department.tamu.edu address, you must add that address to the course list and select Can Send.
Can I send a message to a list and have it delivered at a later time?
Yes, but only if List Moderation is enabled for your list. This option requires all message sent to the list be approved before sending.
Can a message I already confirmed be recalled?
No. If you already sent the confirmation message, the message is distributed and there is no way to recall it.
How do I know that the email was delivered correctly to my list?
When using course lists and college/departmental lists targeting students, a copy of the message is sent to all list moderators as well as to the students. This lets the moderators see the message as it was delivered to the students.
I accidentally sent a message to the wrong list because of the email address autocomplete feature. How can I prevent this?
If you do not want to log in to TAMUDirect each time you use lists, create a contact for the list address with a more descriptive name than the list title. This lessens the possibility of sending messages to the wrong list. If you are authorized to use many lists, we suggest you log in to TAMUDirect, which keeps your lists organized to help you quickly identify the correct list.
If I create a contact for my class list, will the mailing list still be automatically updated?
Yes, every time a message is sent to a list, the current database information is used to obtain the list's email addresses.
