What is a mailing list?
A mailing list is a tool that allows a group of email users to be associated with a single email address. For example, when a mail is sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it the mail will go to all of the members of the IEBA without having to type in each address individually. What makes this tool even more useful is that anyone can voluntarily subscribe to or unsubscribe from any mailing list they choose.

Can anyone send mail to all of the members by simply sending a mail?
No! All of the IEBA mailing lists, except for the Northyard list, may only be posted to by the list moderator. (you post to a list by sending an email to the list address). You should not have any unwanted e-mail associated with being subscribed to an IEBA mailing list. The Northyard list, as explained below, may only be posted to by validated subscribers to the list.
