How do I set up a Mailing List?

Most email systems do not allow "CC: lists" to be used for mass emails. "CC:" is appropriate for a group of 10 or fewer recipients. If you have a Chattanooga Online web hosting account on our Cpanel servers, you may be eligible to use one or more mailing list solutions to communicate with your members, customers, or contacts. Please contact us for more information.
