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

  • csall: All staff studnents and faculty of the department
  • csfaculty: The department's faculty members
  • csphd: PhD candidates of the department
  • csmsc: Master students
  • csresearch: All research students / colaborators
  • csstaff: Secretarial and technical support personell
  • cssupport: The Technical support team
  • support: The same as cssupport
  • undergrad: All undergraduates of the department
  • 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
