To create a tutor mailing list,

% ssh cs1911@localhost
% mlalias cs1911.12s2.tutors -C -c "12s2 COMP1911 tutors"
% mlalias cs1911.12s2.tutors -a z5555555

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.
