Your List Sign-Up forms lets people sign up for your communication/mailing list. The list allows admins to know who would like to receive email updates about the group. This feature allows individuals (whether members of your group or not) to sign up for the announcements that pertain to them.

This feature uses distribution lists to specify what lists people can sign up for. If you haven’t already, you’ll want to create distribution lists for your group to make it easier to not only send announcements, but also to give your members the opportunity to sign up for them.
