% mlalias cs9999.20T3.tutors -C -c "20T3 COMP9999 tutors"
% mlalias cs9999.20T3.tutors -a z5555555 
% mlalias cs9999.20T3.tutors -s 'z5555555,...'

To create a student mailing list,

mlalias cs9999.20T3.students -C \
 -s `grep COMP9999 ~sms/sturec/data/20T3_COMP | cut -f2 -d'|' | sed -e 's/^/z/' | tr '\n' ','`
