Group mailing lists ready to go!

We're set to roll out mailing lists for all groups - what does that mean?

"A mailing list is very much like a conference, except that the conversation comes to you in your e-mailbox."(studiodog.com)

Mailing lists are discussion forums which operate through email. A listserver maintains a list of all subscribers to the mailing list. Contributions are made to an e-mail address (eg. GROUPNAME@lists.relocalize.net) that then redirects the message via email to all subscribers.

All messages and message threads are also stored online on the group web site, so members of the group can follow discussions online and choose whether they want to be emailed each time there is a new posting. With the group mailing list, subscribers can reply directly to a posting from within their email and their reply will automatically get sent to all of the mailing list subscribers and a corresponding posting reply will appear online. Likewise, if a member posts new content to the group web site, their posting will also get sent to all of the mailing list subscribers.
