Create group email to forward mails to list of addresses

Question

I am looking for a way to set up group email for my class. This email address will be used to send mails to all class members.

I've tried creating a Gmail account and forwarding mails to a list of students but looks like Gmail allows forwarding to only two addresses at a time.

How can I create a group email such that any mail to that address will be distributed to all the students in class?

Answer 1

Google Groups is probably your best bet. These two links should be the most helpful for how it sounds like you'll be using it:

• Overview of the benefits of the Google Groups mailing list
• Create a group

Based on your description, you'll probably want to set it up so that all members can post to the group.

Answer 2

I think that the most convenient way to create such mail group is visiting Mail4Group.Com. This is a free shared mailbox designed especially for student groups.
