CPP Mailman Email List Service Will Be Decommissioned on November 28, 2025

IT will permanently decommission CPP's Mailman service on November 28, 2025; administrators of Mailman lists should request the creation of an IDM Email Group or a Teams Group.

IDM Email Group: Using this option, you receive a new group email address, manage group membership, and send all members an email by emailing the group address. An IDM Email Group behaves like a Mailman list where you control moderators, membership, and manage communications. Use this method if your preferred communication method is email.

However, membership is limited to cpp.edu email addresses; external email accounts are not eligible.

Microsoft Teams: For those who prefer the flexibility to chat, post updates, or direct message members. Teams can include members without a cpp.edu email address. The caveat is that all communications must use Microsoft Teams.

Submit a ticket to request a new Outlook Email Group or a Microsoft Team, or contact the IT Service Desk.
