Today when you want to create a mailing list with some people on it you probably have to contact your exchange administrator, give that person a list of names, and wait. With Telligent Enterprise you can turn any forum into a mailing list that site or group members can subscribe to. In fact, if it is enabled any private group you create will automatically have a mailing list created.
This tip demonstrates how you might turn on the mailing list after the group or forum has been created. Maybe you created a second forum in your group and you also want that to be a mailing list. This video will show you how to do that.
Here is the documentation for configuring the mail service if it is not yet enabled on your site.
