To send a message using a system-wide mailing list:
+ + + + number of the system list +
(to record) + (to save the recording) + (to send)
Amanda processes messages sent to lists as a low priority task. This means
that she might take several minutes to send the message to everyone on a
large list, especially if the system is busy. By making this a low priority task,
Amanda can maintain high system performance for tasks such as answering
calls and notifying users. It also means that the sender does not have to wait
to exit until all the messages have been sent.
