How To Set Up An E-mail List

ECE uses sympa to manage its e-mail lists. The starting point for using sympa is https://lists.ece.ubc.ca. Such mailing lists have an address of the form example@lists.ece.ubc.ca where "example" is the list name.

To have an e-mail list created, please submit a service request (see How To Report A Problem) containing the following information:

   Supervisor's Name: [SUPERVISOR'S NAME]
   Your Name: [FULL NAME]
   ECE Account ID: [ACCOUNT ID]
   List Name: [LIST NAME]
   Owner Name: [FULL NAME]
   Owner E-mail Address: [E-MAIL ADDRESS]
   Moderator Name: [FULL NAME]
   Moderator E-mail Address: [E-MAIL ADDRESS]
   Subject: [ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION OF THE PURPOSE OF THE LIST]
   Description: [MULTI-LINE DESCRIPTION OF THE PURPOSE OF THE LIST]
   Topic: [ADMINISTRATIVE / COURSE / RESEARCH / MISCELLANEOUS]
   Are self-subscriptions possible?
       yes
       no
   Do subscriptions require owner approval?
       yes
       no
   Who can send?
       Owner only
       Subscribers
       Others
   Moderated?
       yes
       no

The simplest way to make the request is to download and edit listrequest.txt and send it to help@ece.ubc.ca.
