Terms of use
The mailing lists detailed on this page are available to all staff and research students in the School.
Please DO REMEMBER to:
- Use the correct mailing list for your intended recipients.
- If there isn’t a list that targets just the right people, say in the first line who needs to read the rest.
- Spend some effort composing your email: 1000 people simply reaching for the delete button is a lot of time wasted.
- Make sure the subject line in particular is appropriate; never use a thread on one topic to begin a new one.
- If you’re forwarding an email to a list, or replying to a message on one, it is polite to trim as much as possible from the text you quote.
- Sign your email with your full name.
Please DO NOT USE the mailing lists for:
- Commercial mailings.
- Advertising personal items for sale.
Automated EECS Mailing Lists
All the EECS lists below use information from the School database to generate the list of recipients and as such are not manually updated. Many of the lists can only be used by a restricted set of users (e.g. EECS staff). To send to these lists, you must use your college Office 365 account and the EECS database must know the address that your messages are sent from. You can see the address that the EECS database has stored for you on your EECS about me page. If this is not the address that your messages are sent from then please email systems@lists.eecs.qmul.ac.uk to ask for this to be corrected. If a list is restricted to EECS staff only, then you need to ensure you have such a role in the database too.
Staff & research student lists
The restricted membership of the lists is to reduce email overload by making it possible to target your audience, not to enable confidential communications between the members of the list.
Members of the EECS “staff” permissions group have read access to these lists. Membership of this group is granted to EECS staff but may include people who’ve recently left. Access will also be granted to a few people not strictly in the School but whose work would benefit from being on these lists, for example our Business Development Manager in Queen Mary Innovation Ltd.

EECS research lists
These lists are also driven by data from the School database. For each group, there are also filtered variants such as c4dm-academic@lists.eecs.qmul.ac.uk, c4dm-ra@…, c4dm-phd@…c4dm-guest@… . There is also a variant, c4dm-primary@lists.eecs.qmul.ac.uk which only includes the people whose primary group is c4dm. These variants exist for all research groups.

Location Based Mailing Lists
Lists are available to target all the people based in a particular room or building.
| List | Descripton |

Taught Student Mailing Lists
NB. For Research Students, please see the staff lists.
All emails sent to the student mailing lists below are also copied to the shared mailbox eecs-student-lists@qmul.ac.uk.
The following lists are directly derived from our School database and are therefore exactly as up-to-date as the database. Membership of these lists is determined by an individual’s status within the School. The EECS web pages are derived from the same user databases.
The structure of these lists largely follows the custom and practice of the former Department of Electronic Engineering. We are using a new mail domain for these lists. They are all of the form list-name@lists.eecs.qmul.ac.uk The lists are defined by information in the School’s student record system which takes data from the College SRS and from the School’s own administrators. Messages to student lists can only be sent by staff. The School’s policy is that students should use the forums when they wish to communicate with other students. (SSLC representatives?). There are lots of lists. We’ll link to them from relevant parts of the School’s intranet(s).
Sites
In order to support distance learning and the Joint Programme as effectively as possible, messages can be restricted to students studying at a particular “site”.
We currently (October 2010) have the following sites:
| Site | Descripton |
|---|---|
| DLUK | Distance Learning UK |
| MPI | Macau Polytechnic Institute |

There are a small number of purely site-based lists. These do not include students resitting in absentia.
| $s@lists.eecs | all students currently based at site $s |
| $s-$y@lists.eecs | all students currently based at site $s in developmental year $y |

Modules
For each module $m offered by the School, we have the following lists:
