Basic Information
The ZIH prepares mailing lists centrally for the TU-Dresden. Such mailing lists are functionally e-mail addresses under which some other people are reachable.
The mailing lists have addresses in this form:
INSTITUTE is a predefined identifier (like JURA, USZ, ZIH, or other). The Listname can be freely chosen.
In the case that a student or temporary employee of the TUD is listed as the list administrator, a permanent employee, project leader or professor must be given as well.
To have a new mailing list set up, please use the web form in the ZIH's Self Service Portal.
Please note that it may occur that we have to delete the mailing list if a problem occurs and we cannot reach the list administrator or one of the listed persons within a reasonable period of time.
Please note:
- A mailing list has a minimum of one list administrator. This person decides on the properties of the list and manages the members.
- Membership in a mailing list can either be open for everyone or require the consent of the list administrator. The list administrator can refuse or enforce the membership in the mailing list.
- A mailing list can be set up to have messages which can be opened by anyone or can be set up to be restricted to members on the list. The list administrator can also moderate the list, which means that the delivery of each message can be decided individually.
- The name of the mailing list (including the email address) can be shown in the overview of all mailing lists or not. This is important regarding spam protection for open mailing lists.
An overview of all publicly listed mailing lists can be found here. For lists which are not public, the list name is to be added in lower case letters.
E-Mail-ListS / Verteilergruppen im Exchange
You can also set up mailing lists (distribution groups) in Exchange. However, all members must have an Exchange E-Mailbox at TUD. External E-Mail addresses are not allowed. Exchange distribution groups can be used to assign permissions to calendars, spaces, resources, etc. at the same time.
