A mailing list lets you send one email to a single address and have it delivered to all subscribers on the list. cPanel includes Mailman for creating and managing mailing lists.
Create a mailing list in cPanel
Go to cPanel > Email > Mailing Lists. Enter a list name (e.g., "newsletter"), set a password, and click "Add Mailing List." You can then add subscribers and configure delivery options through the Mailman admin interface.
01. Common Uses
- Team communication - Send updates to all staff via one address
- Newsletters - Simple subscriber list for periodic updates
- Customer groups - Targeted messaging to specific customer segments
cPanel's Mailman works for small lists (under 500 subscribers). For larger lists or professional newsletters, use a dedicated service like Mailchimp, SendGrid, or Amazon SES. These handle deliverability, unsubscribes, and compliance automatically. For PHPList setup, see PHPList Throttling.
For general email setup, see Create Email Accounts and Reduce Spam.
