About E-mail Discussion Lists

An electronic mail (e-mail) discussion list is a method of "one to many" communication.  Individuals who are "subscribed" to the list can send an e-mail message to the list. The e-mail message is then duplicated and sent to all of the other "subscribed" members of the list, who can then, of course, respond in a similar manner. 

For the PX01 course we have set up one e-mail discussion list, called px01:

This e-mail discussion list is for enquiries on course material, organisation, new web resources, the software / technology being used in the course, help on setting up various items of software that will be used, general advice on technical issues, communication with other students etc.. The discussion list should be used for any topic which may be of interest to other students. The course tutors will use the discussion list for announcements on the release of course materials, course organisation etc.. The e-mail list is therefore primarily meant for the students.

Students will be automatically subscribed to this list based on the e-mail address supplied to us. If for any reason you change your e-mail address you must let is know so that we can update the list.  

Sending Messages

When sending messages you will therefore send messages to

px01@list.cryst.bbk.ac.uk

These messages will be sent to everyone subscribed to the list, and will not be private. If you want to send a private e-mail message you should use the e-mail address of one of the course tutors or the student. Since e-mail messages are broadcast within minutes by the e-mail discussion list software at Birkbeck, it is not possible to intercept or stop private messages.

Unsubscribing

If you wish to temporarily "unsubscribe" and no longer receive messages from the list, e.g. if your e-mail address is about to change, then you will have to inform the e-mail discussion list software.  This is done by e-mailing a message to majordomo@list.cryst.bbk.ac.uk  with the message, in the body of the e-mail :

unsubscribe px01

You will receive conformation from the e-mail discussion list software. Note that you must not send any other messages to majordomo.

Subscribing

Once you wish to receive e-mail from the discussion list again then you will have to "re-subscribe" to the list.  This is done by sending an e-mail to the e-mail discussion list software.  This is done by e-mailing a message to majordomo@list.cryst.bbk.ac.uk  with the message, in the body of the e-mail :

subscribe px01

You will receive conformation from the e-mail discussion list software. Note that you must not send any other messages to majordomo.

Archives

The px01 list will be automatically archived here at Birkbeck, i.e. all the messages sent to the lists will be stored.  These archives are converted to html and made available over the web, and can be accessed from this page.  You need to register to get access to the archive pages.
