Maillists

SERVICE RETIREMENT

In alignment with What’s Next: The SFU Strategy and SFU’s digital transformation goals, SFU IT Services is strengthening cybersecurity and protecting our research, academic and business data.

As part of these changes, SFU Maillist will be retired early 2025. The service will be replaced by Groups Management (SFU Groups), External Mail Lists (SimpleLists), and Marketing and Event Management Service (Campaigner).

For details, visit our SFU Maillist Migration Information.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

SFU Maillist is a web application designed to simplify the management of SFU email addresses. It allows you to easily create and manage any number of emails within a mailing list. For example, you can create a course-based maillist in which email addresses are automatically synced with the roster of students for the course; you can also create maillists where you manage the email addresses yourself.

As of June 1st, 2024 SFU Maillist will NO LONGER SUPPORT email addresses that are not in the "sfu.ca" domain (eg. you will not be able to send to, or add people with a @gmail.com or other non-sfu.ca email address using SFU Maillist).  For email lists that must include at least one external email address, you can use Simplelists. For marketing purposes, Campaigner is available.
