Departmental groups are updated nightly from current information in the Oracle eBusiness system. Each group contains addresses for university staff in that particular department. These mailing lists are not restricted in normal use. However, combining multiple groups for a single mailing may be considered abuse and will be dealt with accordingly.
These lists include faculty, staff and externals with assignments within the specified organization. Email holds are not recognized for faculty and staff. Externals will not receive the email if they have an email hold on their record.
