E-lists (or mailing lists) are an important tool for keeping in touch with other technical support providers. They also offer a forum to discuss and get help with technical issues.

To subscribe to an e-list, send the command join to listname-request@cornell.edu, where listname is the full name of the list. (For example, net-admin-l-request@cornell.edu)

To submit a request to join a “closed” e-list, send an e-mail to owner-listname@cornell.edu, where listname is the full name of the list.

Classtech-L

The list helps distribute information pertaining to identifying, evaluating, and supporting emerging computer, video, and audio technologies for use by faculty and students in teaching spaces. It’s also a place to discuss classroom design guidelines. The list is moderated and fairly low traffic.

CU-Filemaker-L

The purpose of this list is to discuss specific issues related to Filemaker.

CU-Mac-L

An unmoderated, low-traffic list for discussions about the Mac OS on campus and related topics. The list is often used to bounce ideas off fellow support providers when problems arise, and provides announcements about Apple visits to campus, information about new hardware, and other relevant topics.

CU-Web-L

The list exists to facilitate communication between members of the Cornell community who operate web servers and/or write web pages for servers based at Cornell. It is open to members of the Cornell community only, and only people subscribed to the list may post to it.

IT-Security-L

This list exists to facilitate a private, secure discussion of security issues, concerns, and problems related to information technology at Cornell. This list is closed subscription and limited to Cornell staff. Subscribers use this list to warn others about new security holes or vulnerabilities, notify others about attempted or actual break-ins that have occurred on campus, and discuss potential security concerns and possible solutions.

Net-Announce-L

This e-list is for technology support providers and any member of the user community who wishes to track the status of the Cornell campus network, particularly the data infrastructure. The IT Service Desk uses this e-list to announce planned network outages, as well as unexpected trouble.
