A moderator can directly define a mailing list address. It contains the domain name of the respective ZMS instance (e.g. course1@university_abc.edu). Members can cancel their membership by themselves via e-mail. The administration and technical workload for moderators is low.
Messages sent to the list are distributed automatically to all members and, in addition, are displayed on a website according to the website design and layout (see following example).
