If you need a list set up to correspond with external groups, i.e., you are corresponding with one or more people who do not have an email address ending with @eos.ubc.ca or @eoas.ubc.ca, please use UBC's Listserv service (information at https://it.ubc.ca/services/email-voice-internet/mailing-lists).
