Class lists are configured so that only the instructor (list owner) can send to the class list using their Cal Poly email account. Students can not send email to a class list.
If an instructor would like to use their external email account to send email to the class list or allow students in the class to send email to the list, the instructor needs to change the list send option to public.
If an instructor would like to use their external email account to send email to the class list but not allow students in the class to send email to the list, then the instructor can add their external email account as an additional class list owner.
