Transfer of Mailman mailing lists to the new MS Groups service is progressing

The renewal work has progressed during the year, and the project team has, among other things, already transferred requested lists to the new service. The new service has also been piloted for student organizations, starting with the lists of the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä (JYY).

A technical challenge has also emerged during testing, but the problem is being resolved with the service provider so that the transfer of lists can proceed on schedule.

The goal is to complete the renewal of the email list service during 2025. The old lists will not be deleted until the new lists are up and running. We will provide more information about the schedule when it is finalised.

If you know that you have active email lists related to the university’s activities on the Mailman service (lists.jyu.fi) that you would like to continue, please contact mailmancleanup@jyu.fi. Old lists will not be automatically transferred to the new service.
