# Gaggle Mail

> Gaggle Mail is a hosted group email service (a modern listserv / mailing list). Each group gets one email address, like club@gaggle.email or an address on your own domain. A message sent to that address goes to every member, and replies go back to the group. Members use their normal email; they don't need an app or an account. Used by clubs, schools and PTAs, churches, HOAs, nonprofits, professional associations and universities. Over 10 years in operation.

Gaggle Mail is for group conversations and announcements, not marketing newsletters: there is no campaign builder, and groups can let every member post or make posting announcement-only.

## What it does
- Discussion or announcement-only groups, with moderation and daily digests
- Searchable web archive of every message, with AI summaries
- Bulk member import, welcome messages, custom footers
- Use your own domain; your own branding on Premium
- Organisations: run many groups together, share members, inherited groups (a group can include the members of other groups)
- SSO, purchase-order billing, SOC 2 Type 1 report and security questionnaires for institutions (Enterprise)
