  • Email Distribution List

    From SYS64738@VERT/DIBZ to All on Thu Feb 10 08:29:18 2022
    Has someone already made a way to do this in Synchronet?

    You know...an email sent to a single email address that forwards to other designated email addresses?

    Depends on exactly how you want it to work, but the ListServer module may be what you're looking for:

    I'll check it out, but I was thinking of something more like what MS Outlook provides. I guess that would require an address book as well though.

    I use Outlook/O365 at work, sparingly. I know that distribution lists are a thing and that we use groups in AD/AAD to manage them, but that's about where my understanding ends.

    I'm sure that in the details there's a lot of difference between these two, but I'm curious what the practical difference would be, in a BBS context.

    I could be wrong as I have not tried listserv on sbbs yet. I'll let you know once I've tried it out.
