DCU Staff Mailing Lists

• The staff mailing lists facilitate targeted communication between members of staff and groups of staff via e-mail.
• Staff members are automatically grouped into Faculty, School & Department lists based on the data from HR.
• All HR derived Faculty, School & Department lists are split into permanent and part time lists.
• ISS has created manual lists for all DCU School & Department lists. The manual list is a member of the School/Department permanent list, is empty by default and can be populated by the list administrator.
• It is designed so the administrator can control the membership of the lists by adding or removing members of staff as necessary, e.g. part-time staff.

• All Staff can send emails to lists, however some lists may be configured with moderation enabled, which means that the list administrator decides whether an email is held, an email is delivered or an email is rejected.
• Staff will receive emails sent to lists they are members of or emails sent to a nested list.
• Part time staff will not receive any mail sent to a full time list, unless they have been added to the manual list by the list admin.
• Once a part time member of staff has been added to the manual list they will continue to receive mail and be permitted to send mail to the list until they are removed from the manual list by the list admin.
