E-mail alias
An e-mail alias (or e-mail list) is a special e-mail address used to send e-mail to a group of one or more e-mail addresses. An e-mail alias works by forwarding the group e-mail to each individual address.
E-mail lists owned by current employees and students were migrated to Google Groups on November 12th. After this date, all changes to groups will be done using the Google Groups interface.

Unsubscribing
Some e-mail aliases (lists) are able to have the users unsubscribe themselves off of the list.
Google Groups
Google groups is a service that Google provides to create email-based groups similar to an email alias. These groups can also be used to assign permission on files/folders on Google Drive and they can be used when assigning Google Calendar events.
