>>>>The tennis club to which I belong has an email group list (5-6 emails of members of the board). If an email is sent to the email
info@ourclubname.org, all 5-6 members of the board receive this email. This email group was created in GoDaddy (which hosts our web site). GoDaddy no longer supports the feature of the group email list.

>>>Is this what's happening to you?

>>I don't know. I only know that the web master informed me that we no longer have a group email by which all members of the board were notified by one email. I wanted to help him to find an alternative solution.

DistGroup@MyTennisClub.org to
MyTennisDistGroup@gmail.com . If you want to retain your current mail domain that probably won't work for you.

>You may want to give some thought to setting up a shared mailbox rather than using a distribution list. One advantage of the former is that all delegates can see everything that has happened with that mailbox and e-mail address - everything received and everything sent by any delegate. In contrast, a distribution list just sends copies of incoming mail to the list members. When they reply, the members can't see each other's replies unless they remember to cc: each other, which can be a pain.
Thank you for your suggestions. I am not sure that shared mailbox would work for us. But the distribution list, via a gmail.com, could be a good approach. I will forward the article you cited to the web master. Let him review and make the decision.
