Can I have a list as a recipient of another list?

A list that has other lists as recipients is know as an umbrella list and can be extremely tricky to set up. If you must set up this type of list read through the following instructions carefully.

In the admin page for your sub-lists set the following options.

• Under "Privacy options..." -> "Recipient filters" set acceptable_aliases to <umbrella>, where <umbrella> is the name of the umbrella list.
• Under "Privacy options..." -> "Sender filters" set accept_these_nonmembers to <umbrella>-bounces@lists.csusb.edu, where <umbrella> is the name of the umbrella list.

In the admin page for your umbrella list set the following options.

• Under "Privacy options..." -> "Sender filters" set accept_these_nonmembers to @<sub> for every sub-list, where <sub> is the name of the sub-list.

• Under "Membership management..." -> "Mass Subscription" add the email address of each sub-list.
