>>>>Hi,

>>>>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.

The main downside to that would be that you would need to switch from 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.
