Email Distribution Lists and Groups

Distribution lists let you email a whole team at once, like developmentservices@kingborough.tas.gov.au , instead of adding people one by one.

Two kinds of list

There are two types, and the difference matters when something looks wrong:

• Managed lists. Membership is set manually by the Digital Experience team. If you need someone added or removed, log a request.
• Automatic lists. Membership is worked out from your record in our systems, usually your directorate or position. You can't be added by hand, and if your details are out of date the list will be too.

See who's on a list

In Outlook, start typing the list name in the To field, then select the arrow next to it to expand the members. Expanding replaces the list with the individual names, so undo it before you send if you meant to email the group.

Request a change

Send us a message with:

1. The list name or email address
2. Who to add or remove, using their full name
3. Whether the change is permanent or temporary
