GetGetCommunityMail: community email that runs itself
GetCommunityMail is a free email announcement service for community groups — clubs, congregations, neighborhoods, associations. Send to your whole community from the inbox you already use; it handles the members, the delivery, the unsubscribes and the paperwork.

No new tools to learn. It's just email.
Your community gets its own address, like
yourgroup@lists.getcommunitymail.com. Sending an announcement
is exactly what it sounds like.
Email your list address
Write a normal email in Gmail, Outlook — anything — and send it to your community's address. Attach files; they become secure links automatically.
Approve with one click
You get an email straight back with a preview of exactly what members will see. Click approve — or just reply APPROVE — and it's on its way.
Delivery takes care of itself
Every send is tracked: delivered, bounced, unsubscribed. Members manage their own preferences, and your list stays clean without you touching it.
Group email has rules. A spreadsheet and BCC follows none of them.
Anti-spam laws like CAN-SPAM and GDPR apply to community groups too, and since 2024 Gmail and Yahoo enforce bulk-sender rules technically — mail that breaks them quietly stops arriving. GetCommunityMail builds the required controls into every single send.
Every email must offer a way out
The law requires a working unsubscribe in every message; Gmail and Yahoo additionally require one-click unsubscribe headers.
✓ Every announcement includes unsubscribe links in both HTML and plain text, plus the one-click headers — and preferences are honored before every future send.
You need a basis for every address on the list
Sending to people who never agreed to hear from you is where most complaints — and legal exposure — come from.
✓ Every import requires a recorded consent attestation, kept with the original file, so your group can always show where its list came from.
Emails must say who they're from — physically
CAN-SPAM requires a valid physical mailing address in every commercial-adjacent message. Almost nobody BCCing a list does this.
✓ Your organization's name and mailing address are stamped into the footer of every email, automatically.
Ignoring bounces gets your group blocked
Repeatedly mailing dead or complaining addresses is the fastest way for a domain to end up in everyone's spam folder.
✓ Bounces and complaints suppress addresses automatically before the next send — no manual list cleaning, ever.
Anyone can pretend to be the committee
A shared BCC list means anyone who ever received it can mail the whole community, as if they were you.
✓ Only verified, approved senders can start an announcement — everyone else is rejected and logged.
When something goes wrong, you need the record
Who added that address? Who sent that message? With BCC and a spreadsheet, nobody knows.
✓ An append-only audit log records every import, approval, send and settings change.
GetCommunityMail helps your group operate these controls; it isn't legal advice. If your community has specific obligations, check them with a professional.
