The University provides a mailing list service via its Microsoft Exchange system. Exchange offers a simple but secure mailing list service that can support UEA email addresses only.
The existing Mailman system is being replaced by Exchange where possible during June. Requests for lists on Mailman are no longer being accepted.

From Monday August 13 2012 a new naming convention has been applied to the University’s automatically generated mailing lists. This is to add consistency to clearly identify the group of people a mailing list is provided for. Read more
