Gmail includes built-in support for LISTSERVs, which are mailing lists. You can use the contact-grouping in Gmail's contacts editor to create groups of email addresses. You can specify the name of the contact group while composing an email, as a means of sending the same email to the entire mailing list at once. Gmail's contact-grouping feature is intended for small, personal mailing lists. If you want to create a large, commercial mailing list, Google recommends using Google Groups instead of Gmail for this purpose.
