When should I use a Listserver list vs. an Exchange List?
Presently Exchange distribution lists are not available so a Listserver list is your only option. Fall of 2007 Exchange Distribution Lists will begin to be available to users of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice that have migrated to Microsoft Exchange. As a rule of thumb: • If you require archiving, the ability of list members to unsubscribe automatically and the list contains members who do not have John Jay College of Criminal Justice Exchange email addresses a Listserver list is your best bet. • If you require tighter integration with Microsoft products such as Microsoft Outlook, your list subscribers are comprised solely of John Jay College of Criminal Justice members on Microsoft Exchange and you do not require archiving an Exchange Distribution list is probably the better option.
