Mass-mailing & mailing lists in HUJI

What is mass-mailing?

Sending a message with the same or similar content to at least 100 recipients within 24 hours.

Can I send mass-mailing from my mail client in my PC?

No. It is forbidden to distribute mass mailing from a mail client. The result can be very damaging to the whole university community and we can be "blacklisted" - email coming from the university will be rejecetd.

How can I send a message from my mail client to multiple receipients (up to 100)?

When you send to multiple recipients (within the permitted limit) it is advised to place the addresses in "Bcc:". The benefit of this feature is to avoid exposing a long list of addresses that can be copied and abused, and further more - if one or several of the recipients chooses "Reply all" it can trigger a chain of mass-mailing.

Can I send legitimate mass mailing for academic/administrative purposes to more than 200 receipients ?

Yes - only via HUJI's mailing list systems.

How can I send mass mailing for academic/administrative purposes?

You can only send it via an electronic mailing list, which is software designed for widespread distribution of e-mail.

We have 2 distribution systems for different purposes:

  1. For strictly administration purposes within the university -

  • The system is available for administrative units. For more information contact should contact Amir Bitan from the Information Systems department,

  • One-time distributions for other purposes - requests will be subjucted to the authorization of HUJI's General Secretary

  1. Use listserver.huji.ac.il Mailing Lists system for the following purposes:
    • Academic purposes
    • HUJI related companies (not free of charge)
