Frequently Asked Questions
What
is an email mailing list?
An email mailing list is a great way to stay up to date with
your class, local club or other special interest group within
the Kellogg community. It is an email subscription service
that allows you to both receive information from and send
information to all other members on that mailing list.

How
do I send mail to the email mailing list?
After you receive the message that you are subscribed, you
can begin sending mail to the list address. To send mail to
the alumni mailing list, you need only compose a message in
your email program and address it to mailinglistname@kellogg.northwestern.edu.
The mailing group receives it, and then forwards it on to
each subscriber on the list.

Why
didn't my message appear on the email mailing list?
Your message most likely did not get sent to the email mailing
list for two reasons:
1) You sent the message to the wrong address. Please remember
to send the message to mailinglistname@kellogg.northwestern.edu
2) Your message has been moderated for content or size. Please
review the definition of a moderated list below.

Why
am I not receiving messages from email mailing lists that
I have subscribed to?
You are most likely not receiving messages from email mailing
lists that you have subscribed to for two reasons:
1)
You may not have your alumni email forwarding account set
up. Messages are sent to alumni mailing list subscribers through
their alumni email forwarding address. To check or to set
up your alumni email forwarding address, go to Email Forwarding
Services and click on the Email Forwarding link.
2)
The messages are being sent to you, but they may be automatically
deleted depending on how you set your Junk Mail preferences.
Most email service providers allow users to filter out junk
mail from their Inbox. This mail will usually be automatically
deleted, or purged after seven days. If you want to receive
email mailing list messages, newsletters, and other information
from Kellogg clubs, faculty and colleagues, be sure to place
the entire kellogg.northwestern.edu domain or the specific
email mailing list to which you are subscribed on your "Safe
List" or safe "Mailing List".

subscription?
