UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Department E-Mail Lists]


Question: Do you have Email lists for various groups in the department?
Author: Joseph Tam
Date: Jul/2021

Usage Guidelines

  1. Use the smallest list that suits your purpose: don't send to the entire department when a subset is your target audience. Notices about quasi-convex 8-dimension Riemann surfaces bore the staff as they're not interested in dimensions fewer than 10.
  2. Remove extraneous information: when forwaring Email from other soucres, trim non-essential or irrelevant signatures, headers, attachments and text. Redact data that leaks personal infromation (e.g. unsubscription links).
  3. Please consider the folowing when attaching data:
  4. Department lists submissions will only be accepted from on-campus mail systems. Do not send to a department list address from your personal Email accounts hosted elsewhere (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, other insitutions, your ISP, etc.). If you are working off-campus, use our webmail facility or authenticated remote mail service configured in your mail reader.
