E-mail subscription lists
A mailing list is a list of mail addresses which is known to the mail
system by a single name. Mailing lists allow you to send the same e-mail to
a number of people with a common interest by using only one email message.
There are two types of mailing list: mandatory and subscription.
Membership of mandatory lists is a consequence of your status
within the University, membership of subscription lists is a matter
of personal choice: it is possible to join, leave, or rejoin them.
