Creating a New Discussion via Listserv

To start a discussion via an email listserv, you must first subscribe to the group's listserv you would like to post to.

Once you have subscribed to the listserv, you need to find the email address of the listserv to send your message to.

In the My Network box, click on My Mailing Lists under My Alerts.

You will see a list of listservs you have subscribed to.

Finding the Listserv email address

In the Description column, you'll see somewhere in the paragraph an email address. In this case, MemberTalk@spmail.ornurselink.org is the email address of this listserv. All listerv email addresses will end with @spmail.ornurselink.org.

Now, compose a new email to your listserv's email address using your email program.

Starting a discussion via email

Your email's subject line will act as the discussion post title, and the body of your message will be the body of the discussion post.

If you do not want your email's signature file posted to the website, be sure to delete it before you send your email.

Send your email, and it will be posted to the group's discussion forum on the website as well as sent via email to any members who have subscribed to that listserv. (Learn about replying to a listserv email discussion.)

Please note that you can attach documents to your email. All documents will be posted directly to the discussion thread. (But they will not be added to the Resource Center).

Discussion from Email Posted

The email sent to other members on the listserv will look something like this:
