If your Distribution Group was not initially set up to permit senders outside of the UAlbany Mail system:

  • If you remove everyone from the delivery management list, then anyone inside the UAlbany Mail system will be permitted to send to the group if they know the name/address.  

  • When the delivery management list is empty, the system will present the owner with a message indicating that only UAlbany Mail customers may send it to the group.

  • In order to allow senders outside the UAlbany Mail system to send emails to your Distribution Group, submit an ITS Service Desk ticket requesting this be changed for your group.
