Overview

A mailing list is a group email address with a number of subscribed users. Mailing lists are used for sending email messages to multiple recipients at once. Email messages sent to the subscribers can include anything from plain text to colorful newsletters and promotions with embedded images and links, and attached multimedia presentation materials.

This article will show you how to set up and manage mail groups using the Plesk Control Panel. A mail group simply allows you to create one email address, which can then be used to forward mail to multiple email users on the same domain.
