Sonning Deanery e-mail services

The Guild provides e-mail services and website hosting for all of its branches who wish to use them. This website is hosted on the ODG server, and the Branch provides full e-mail services using standard addresses, described below. For general information, see the Guild FAQ page .

If you know of any changes of e-mail address or any new addresses please inform the Branch Postmaster

Standard e-mail addresses

These addresses relate to a post rather than a person, and they do not change even if the person holding the post changes. That makes them easier to remember, and also avoids disclosing personal e-mail addresses. The addresses uses a prefix in front of @sdb.odg.org.uk . There are two types of address:

Address type	Message goes to	Restrictions	Who can post	Prefix
Officer	A particular officer (or officers if a post is shared)	No	Anyone	See list of officers
Tower	The correspondent of a particular tower	No	Anyone	See list on towers page

Branch mailing lists

There are six mailing lists for different groups within the Branch. The address for each is a prefix before @sdb.odg.org.uk

All lists convert messages to plain text to reduce the risk of hidden links or malware.
