• sysmans

  is the main list for discussing administration of Tardis. New and removed account notices are also sent here. All admins should be subscribed.

• sysmans-logs

  receives log summaries. (There is also an altlogs address, created when new summarising software was introduced. Currently these get the same mail.)

• postfix-logs

  receives summaries of mail activity. These are also sent to sysmans-logs.

These lists are handled by the

/etc/aliases

file on the mail server. (Note that any lists created in this way should also have a owner-<list name> alias to send any bounces to.)

There is also an

allusers

list handled by the normal mailing list manager.

Should talk about assistants and timelords lists here, but haven't yet.

The University have some useful lists:

• edlan-announce

  provides alerts about EdLAN and JANET outages. These are also available one the web (Edinburgh, JANET) and the university's news server.

• mail-managers

  is a list for mail system adminstrators from across UK academia.

Platform specific lists (like sunmans) might be interesting to some.
