creating email discussion group
hi everyone. I'm new - and pretty new to the cPanel. Does anyone know how i can create an email discussion group similar to the google group discussion groups. It's where each "member" sends an email to one address and the email is distributed to all members. Searched the forums, but could not find anything that fit (that i could understand!) Thank you very much. Suzanne

Hi @Suzanne L A mailing list sounds like what you want. cPanel has these available using MailMan mailing lists. They should be available from within your cPanel account at cPanel>>Email>>Mailing Lists Our documentation on the feature can be found here: Mailing Lists - Version 74 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thanks! 0 -
Thank you. unfortunately I don't see the MailMan option. even in a search. 54017 0 -
Hi @Suzanne L It looks like your provider hasn't given you the mailing lists feature. In order to obtain it, you'll need to contact them to see if it's something they provide to users. Thanks! 0 -
I would really recommend installing a forum on your web hosting space and using that instead of an email discussion list. Email discussion lists are pretty old. And while there are still several around (i.e. the Exim user mailing list) I'm not sure if there are a lot of newer ones being created with robust followings. Everything moved to forums or perhaps Facebook groups. Not exactly an answer to your question, but it is an alternative platform you might want to consider. 0 -

That might also be a solution to the fact that the mailing lists feature is disabled by the provider. Though, I will say, @sparek-3 personally I'm a part of several active robust email lists so they're not gone yet! :)0 -
Well, I just can't imagine something like this cPanel forums being done in an email platform. I probably either wouldn't be subscribed or would rarely if ever contribute, because it's more of a hassle for me. I much prefer the forum flow of things. They tell me that Facebook groups has stolen a lot of the forum mojo, but I never got too involved in Facebook. 0 -

Nor could I, for purposes of what we do I don't see them as being a viable solution - a lot of idea based or discussion based items work really well in that medium though.They tell me that Facebook groups has stolen a lot of the forum mojo, but I never got too involved in Facebook.
I've heard that too but I've yet to find any that are useful to me personally.0
