EECE MAILING LIST SERVICE

INTRODUCTION

In response to the desire to implement a consistent mailing list hierarchy within each unit in order to facilitate distribution of information, a Faculty-Wide Mailing List Service has been deployed by the Faculty of Applied Science.

The service is implemented as of a hierarchy of units and, within each unit, a hierarchy of lists. The subscribers of the lists are automatically populated from canonical UBC data sources such as the Human Resources Management System.

FAQ

Why is there one sympa instance per unit?: Having one sympa instance per unit allows each unit to operate independently of each other and allows each unit to maintain its own identity.
How do I get a topic-specific mailing list created (e.g., for a research group)?: Please contact the listmaster of the unit (see bottom of page).
Will it be possible to contact students through this service?: Permission is being sought to obtain the email addresses of students so that unit-level, program-level and year-level mailing lists can be established. A list hierarchy similar to that for faculty and staff will be generated.
