22.7  How to use Mailing Lists

Kerio MailServer allows for any number of mailing lists to be defined within each local domain. However, the number is limited by user licenses, because each mailing list is considered to be one license by Kerio MailServer.

Mailing lists are based on an email address shared by all users included in the group — messages sent to the address are distributed to all members of the corresponding mailing list. In addition to functions of simple user group, the following functions are available in mailing lists:

All actions are executed by sending emails to special accounts. Mailing lists must be created in the Kerio Administration Console. All other actions may be taken by email sent and delivered via SMTP.

Warning

If POP3 access is used, it is not recommended to process messages from mailing lists. If you plan to run mailing lists, the MX record for your server is required.

If any problems regarding mailing lists occur, the Debug log may be helpful (see chapter 25.9  Debug log). To obtain appropriate information, enable the Mailing Lists Processing log.
