Second, this kind of list is stored centrally in BU’s Global Address List (rather than only through your mail client) so it can be used by anyone who has been set up to write to it. First, they allow you to send to more than 500 people (as long as you send just to the single provided address without expanding it to display the individual addresses that it contains). There are a few advantages to this kind of list. For additional assistance using and maintaining the list, go to File-Help and search on “Contact Group.”įaculty and staff can request and maintain an Exchange mailing list for departmental use.
Once the list is all set, choose to Save & Close.If most members of your list are from the BU community, you can pull names by going to Address Book->Global Address List. Click on Add Members and select the address source(s) as needed to populate the list.Option B: Click on the small Contacts button in the bottom left corner, then on the New Contact Group button at the top of the Home tab. Option A: Go to the Home tab and New Items, then go to More Items->Contact Group.However, if the number of recipients exceeds 250, you will need to break up the list and send the message multiple times. You can create and maintain a Contact Group within Outlook (or similar type of list in other mail clients). Use a Contact Group that is locally created and managed (within your email client) With that restriction in mind, if you need to send a message to a large number of recipients, you have the following options. This limit includes the sum of all recipients in the To, Cc or Bcc lines.
Exchange limits to 500 the number of recipients you can (simultaneously) send a message to without assistance from IS&T.
