Mailing Lists

Mailing lists derived from class membership of a course

Documented in detail on the CSE FAQ Taggi Virtual Aliases

Due to 3+ terms, student memberships extend to end of week 2 of next term, hence overlapping with next term's student memberships.

COMP9999-list@cse.unsw.edu.au generated from COMP9999 UDB class, includes tutors, lecturers, supervisors

To create a tutor mailing list,

% ssh cs1911@localhost
% mlalias -C cs1911.12s2.tutors -c "12s2 COMP1911 tutors" (DEPRECATED - options must come after the mlalias name)
% mlalias cs1911.12s2.tutors -C -c "12s2 COMP1911 tutors"
% mlalias cs1911.12s2.tutors -a meicheng meichengwhale@gmail.com

To create a student mailing list,

mlalias cs1911.12s2.students -C \
 -s `grep COMP1911 ~sms/sturec/data/12s2_COMP | cut -f2 -d'|' | sed -e 's/^/z/' | tr '\n' ','`

Remember to remove the mailing lists so as not to clog up the database.
