This is a guide for adding updating and maintaining the departmental lists. We have the following departmental mailing lists:

  1. csall: All staff studnents and faculty of the department
  2. csfaculty: The department's faculty members
  3. csphd: PhD candidates of the department
  4. csmsc: Master students
  5. csresearch: All research students / colaborators
  6. csstaff: Secretarial and technical support personell
  7. cssupport: The Technical support team
  8. support: The same as cssupport
  9. undergrad: All undergraduates of the department
  10. csstudents: All the computer science students

In order to update those lists the following steps must be taken according to the situation:

A new user is just added to the system in an already existing group
Just run the makealiases script on the mailserver

A new user added in a new group
First edit the aliasgroups file and put the new group in the appropriate list group
Then run the makealiases script on the mailserver

A New list needs to be created
Edit the aliasgroups file and add the name of the new list along with the appropriate groups (NIS groups) in the form
newlistname : nis_group1 nis_group2 ...

Edit the /etc/aliases file and add an include line with the newly created list in the form:
newlistname: :include:/path/to/newlistname

Run the makealiases script

A user without a local account or email address needs to be added in a list
Go to manual directory under the mailaliases directory and add the user's email address in the proper file ending it with a comma(,).

Run the makealiases script
