I created my list but I'm unable to post to it, now what?
When you create a Sympa mailing list, even a class list, it can take up to 24-hours for the list to be approved by a List Administrator. If you need immediate approval, please contact IT Express at (530) 754 - 4357. After approval, it may take up to 2 hours for the list to become operational.
I created a mailing list but when I try to post to the list, it's rejecting my email. I'm the instructor!
Double check to make sure the email is coming from your @ucdavis.edu account. If you have a departmental email account, such as @math.ucdavis.edu, IT Express will need to manually add that email address as an owner. Please contact us via telephone or email.
