Request a Mailing List
This page explains how to request a mailing list.
The following user groups can request mailing lists:
- RWTH Employees
- Affiliated FB10 (Angehörige(r) FB10)
- UKA Employees
- Student unions
Please the following information to the IT-ServiceDesk via email:
- Name of the list
- The list address will then be "listname@lists.rwth-aachen.de".
- Please do not use overly vague names such as "uni" or "sport".
- Email address of the list administrator
- Please use an RWTH email address.
- Please note that administrators and moderators need a Mailman account.
- Sign-up options for list members.
- List members must sign up on their own.
- List administrators must add new members to the lists. In this case, please make sure that the new members consented to being added to the list.
- Types of mailing list
- Announcement list: Messages from list members need to be moderated before being forwarded to others.
- Discussion list: Messages are forwarded directly to the other list members.
- Predicted number of members
- Archiving
- No archiving
- Every list member has their own private archive.
- The archive is visible to all list members. In that case, you must inform your members that all messages sent to the list will be archived and can be viewed by other members at a later date. For example, you could write this information on the mailing list overview page or in the footer.
- Should the list be publicly listed on the overview page? (Not recommended unless visibility is required.)
