• You can also use Gmail's "Filters" feature to automatically add contacts to a mailing list based on certain criteria (e.g., email address, domain, etc.).
• If you have a large number of contacts, you can use Gmail's "Import" feature to import contacts from a CSV file or another email service.
• You can also use third-party plugins or add-ons, such as Boomerang or Sanebox, to manage your mailing list and send emails to a group of people.
