Managing Your Mail Groups

A mail group is a list of several email accounts that are grouped together under one email address for convenient multi-copy messaging. For example, lets say you want to send the same message to 5 people in your model car group. You can create a "Model Car" email group that includes the individual email addresses for all 5 people. So, when someone sends a message to the Model Car email group, he/she only types and sends one message. Copies of the message are emailed to all 5 individuals. By using mail groups, the sender does not need to know each individual's email address, just the group name. In this way, mail groups save time.

    NOTE: The SASSINC System Administrator has the ability to limit the number of mail groups that you can create for a given domain.

  4. To add an external mail address to a Mail Group, fill in the correct address in the enter external recipient mail text box, and click ADD.
  5. To add an existing account from the same domain, click on the desired address in the Select registered users list, and click ADD.
  6. The selected addresses will appear in the box to the right of the mail groups checkbox on the Mail Name Properties Page.
  7. To delete one or more group members, highlight the selected group member in the box to the left of the mail group check box. Click the REMOVE button.
  8. A warning will appear. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the address from the mail group.
  9. After completing your changes, click UPDATE to submit all changes.
