Mailing List Subscription Policy
Many of the mailing lists on campus are open for Wheaton users to subscribe themselves and the process is easy. If a mailing list allows self-subscribing you can send a blank email to the address
For example, if the list was named studentclub@wheatonma.edu, you would send a blank email message to
You will then receive a confirmation email message from the email server. Reply to that message and you will be subscribed to the list.
NOTE! - We encourage individuals to subscribe themselves to the mailing lists that allow it. We will not mass import email addresses into a mailing list for you for a couple of reasons.
- The messages you consider gems might be considered spam to an unwilling recipient.
- If we subscribe someone with an address that is different than their "From:" address, messages that person tries to send to the list will bounce. For example, if my "From:" address is johnson_brian@wheatoncollege.edu and I got subscribed to the list as johnson_brian@wheatonma.edu, the 2 email addresses are different and my messages would bounce.
One last note, if you are the administrator of a mailing list and you want an outside email address subscribed to the list, have that person (ex: bob@yahoo.com) send you an email requesting this and forward that message to cgpro_admins@wheatonma.edu . We will manually add the outside email address to the mailing list since we block the auto-subscribe feature from outside addresses for the majority of mailing lists.
