Re: communications to students?

["Daniel A. Ramaley" <daniel.ramaley@drake.edu>]

We're running ZCS 5.0.16. We have a separate lists server running 
Mailman. It is provisioned with lists of students by college, year, 
major, etc. Only authorized people can send to any particular lists. 
Once Zimbra implements send permissions on its internal lists, we plan 
to switch to that and get rid of Mailman.
