Question: Is there an automated email list processor at the UW? If so, how can I interact with it to find out about its lists, subscribe to them, and so on?
Answer:
UW Technology maintains an automated email list processor on its central computer systems. The information below is about that central system. There are many email lists run on individual accounts and on departmental computer systems. The information here does not address those lists. If you need details about lists that are not served by UW Technology's Mailman server, you will need to find and contact the individuals who own those lists or manage the system where they run.
General information about the Mailman server can be found at
http://www.washington.edu/computing/mailman/If you are looking for information about a particular Mailman list, you can go to that list's information page at
http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname/where "listname" is replaced with the actual name of the list.
Interacting with lists on the Mailman server is easy and can be done using your Web browser. Unlike the previous ListProc system, no email commands are required.
If you have any questions about Mailman not answered on the general information pages, send email to "help@u.washington.edu"
