There are different types of email lists available in the system:

• Discussion (unmoderated): is a list on the system that can be used for department discussion groups (two way communication). All messages sent to the list would be sent out immediately to the group.
• Announcements: is a list on the system can be setup for email announcements which is ideal for communicating to large groups (one way communication).  With email announcements lists you track and see how successful your mailing campaigns were.
