EMAIL LISTS

There are two "mass email" facilities in place at Rutgers, one (RAMS) is strictly for administrative and official course mailing lists. The other (mailman) is for University affiliated ad hoc mailing lists.

There are a number of email lists already in place for those involved in computing at Rutgers. They tend to be subject or technology specific. They are all served from the mailman server and can be subscribed to using one of two methods.

One method uses the mailman web interface. Go to https://email.rutgers.edu/mailman/listinfo/listname , where listname is the name of the mailing list to which you want to subscribe. Fill out the form on the web page and click on the 'subscribe' button. NOTE: Do not use a password that you use for anything important as it may be emailed to you in plain text.

The other subscription method is via email. Send an email to listname-subscribe@email.rutgers.edu, where listname is the name of the mailing list to which you'd like to subscribe.

Most, if not all of the above lists are "private" which means the list owner will have to process your subscription request and the email address from which you email to the list much be the same one that is subscribed to the list. This is done to keep the lists limited to Rutgers only people and keeps out spam.
