Can anyone email a listserv?
They have to subscribe to a listserv first before they can email to it. You have the ability to turn approval on your listserv if you created it, but by default it allows anyone to subscribe. No emails will be sent to the list unless that person is subscribed to it first. It will email them telling them of this.
How secure are my emails?
Answer: Not Very. There is an archive kept of all messages by default and these are mostly public. We encourage that no sensitive information be published to these emailing lists. Please use district email to send sensitive information inside the district.
