We have two servers to manage email discussion lists: one is for discussion or low volume announcement email lists. The other is for high volume announcement only lists. Once you have logged into the [https://members.mayfirst.org Members' Control Panel], click either "Email discussion list" if you have a low volume announcement list or a discussion list of any size or "High volume announcement list" if you have a high volume announcement list.
