Mailing Lists

SyncManager synchronizes your existing distribution lists from the primary mail system so that, in the event of a disruption, users can continue to send email to and receive email messages from their usual mailing lists. You can also use distribution lists as activation or recovery units. For example, it might be best to activate the members of a building-specific distribution list or to recover a small set of users before a full-scale recovery.

Distribution lists can contain both internal email addresses (users with ContinuityA feature provided by GFI OneConnect that queues the emails sent and received in a Data Center and ensures that your organization can keep the mail flow even when the email infrastructure is down. accounts) and external email addresses.

Continuity requires that distribution list names contain 128 characters or fewer. Distribution lists with names longer than 128 characters will not receive messages through Continuity. Messages sent to these distribution lists will not archive correctly and can prevent messages from being received by other users during an activation.

To view mailing lists and members of each list:

1. Login to GFI OneConnect with an administrator account.
2. From the top-right menu, navigate to Manage > Continuity.

3. Navigate to Mailing Lists.
4. To locate a specific mailing list, in the Search box type the email address or name and click Search.
5. To view the individual members of a mailing list, in the List Name column click the name of the list. The listing expands to include all members. Account members display with full names; external members display with only email addresses.
