OIT has moved away from suggesting Mailman as the listserv manager of choice and now recommends Google Groups. To request a Google Group using your UCI Google account, click the Request a Google Group button at the link below:

• https://www.oit.uci.edu/services/communication-collaboration/google-groups/

Once the request is approved and processed, then you can begin managing your group using the instructions below.

Log at this link, and then select your new group to begin:

• https://groups.google.com/my-groups

Here I cover most of the settings you will want to take a close look at. I am highlighting the ones that are necessary to create an announcement-only style list, meaning it will only accept messages from pre-approved senders and either reject or silently ignore any other messages.

If you do not want an announcement-only list, then you can adjust those specific settings accordingly (i.e. allow messages from all Group Members or perhaps even the entire Organization).

1. Click on Group Settings on the bottom-left:

2. Enter a description and an optional Welcome message (will only be sent to invited users)

3. Decide who can see the group and who can join the group

4. Specify whether to allow non-UCI email addresses on the list:
