How to Contact the List Owner of a Listserv Mailing List

Generally, it is quicker to contact the List Owner(s) of a Pomona Listserv mailing list if you have a question about that specific mailing list.

Each Listserv mailing list has a built-in email address that sends messages directly to the List Owner(s) of a mailing list, an email request. There needs to be at least one List Owner on a mailing list but there can be multiple List Owners. The build-in email address will the message to the List Owner, or to all of the List Owners if there are multiple List Owners.

The format of the email address to contact the List Owner(s) is as follows:

<MailingListName>-request@listserv.pomona.edu

with <MailingListName> being the actual name of the Listserv Mailing List.

This works for any Listserv mailing list as long as the <MailingListName> is the name of an actual Listserv mailing list.

For Example, for the Faculty-Announce mailing list the email address to send a message to the List Owner would be:

Faculty-Announce-Request@listserv.pomona.edu

The process to send a message to the List Owner of the Faculty-Announce mailing list would be to write a normal email message and send it to the email address listed above. The message goes directly to the List Owner(s) and is not seen by anyone subscribed to the mailing list.

NOTE: You need to send separate email message to the Email Request email address from each mailing list. You should not combine the Email Request email addresses on a single email.
