Dear Staff, Faculty, Coaches and Classroom Ambassadors,
The following is an important reminder about composing messages to your team, class, "parents of" or any other distribution lists using Veracross.
- Use the To: Field: When using a distribution list, always put the distribution list address in the To: field. You can use more than one distribution list at the same time, but they must all go in the To: field.
- Copy additional people using CC: If you would like to copy additional, non-veracross email addresses, these must go in the CC: field.
- Do not use the BCC: field, it will not work as intended with the distribution lists.
Here are a couple of examples:
- Example Use Case: Send an email to all of my students in all my classes
In the To: field, list each of the addresses as shown in the example. Leave the cc and bcc fields blank.
The email will be sent to all of the members of the three groups shown, appear to be sent from you, to the recipient, and any replies will come back to you.
- Example Use Case: Send an email to my team's students and parents and copy the other coaches
List the student and parent lists in the To: field, CC: the coaches, and leave BCC: blank.
These emails will appear to be sent from you, to the recipient and your cc's, and the replies will come to you (or all coaches if the recipient uses reply-all).
