Administering email lists. See also Working With Email Lists (for list users) and Managing Users and Groups.

Process and Procedures

Create a new email list:

Ask a Confluence administrator to define a new Confluence group (see here). This will automatically lead to a new email list with similar name.

Add add Confluence users to email lists:

Ask a Confluence administrator to use the Confluence group management tools to add users to the respective group. These users will be automatically added to the email list after a few minutes.

Remove users from email lists:

Ask a Confluence administrator to use the Confluence group management tools to remove users from the respective group. In addition, users need to be manually removed from the email list by the administrator. This is NOT performed automatically. It is always possible to keep users on the email list and have additional users on the email list

Add non-Confluence users to email list:

Make sure user does not need a Confluence account. Otherwise, invite user to Confluence via an administrator (see above). This applies to secondary email accounts of existing users and to users that have no affiliation with the project. Ask an administrator to add a user's email address to the email list.

Alternatively, users can subscribe to the email lists using the mailman mechanisms. The same applies to unsubscribe

Disable email delivery to group users:

If a Confluence user should be member of a group but not receive group emails via the email list, as an administrator to disable the delivery of emails for this user. Note: Removing the user from the email list or unsubscribing does not work in this case, because all group users are regularly automatically added to the email lists.
