Sending to Active Directory groups

In this JungleMail tutorial, you will learn how to send newsletters to Active Directory security and distribution groups.

Two ways of sending to Active Directory groups

Before you can send to recipients in security or distribution groups, you need to pick one of two methods to do this: you either add a group in the JungleMail interface or send newsletters using a custom SharePoint list.

1. Add groups in the JungleMail interface

1. Open JungleMail and go the Recipients step.

2. In the Recipient source, select SharePoint, AD groups, then click Add.

In the popup window, enter the group name or click the list icon on the right to browse or search for groups.

2. Send emails using a custom list

1. Create a custom SharePoint list.

2. If you want to send group emails to AD security groups, add the Person or Group type column to the list. If you want to send group emails to AD distribution groups, add the Text type column to the list.

3. Add your existing security groups by creating new list items (see the example below).

4. Select the appropriate groups and open JungleMail from the ribbon (the JungleMail User Menu feature should be activated).

Custom list configuration for sending to AD security groups

1. Go to the list that will be used as the source for the mailing.

2. Go to list settings and add a Person or Group type column.

3. When you create the column, go to the list, and create an entry in the following format:

[domain name]\[AD group name]

Now, when you select this list item and run JungleMail, it will resolve all users from the group.
