Class Email Aliases

At the beginning of each semester, email aliases are created for each class being offered that semester. By default, all email sent to these addresses go to the student's account. An email address is created for the whole class, and email addresses are created for each section of the class. They are not automatically created for the TAs.

Examples for class ECE1002:

Class email: ece1002@ece.msstate.edu

Section 1: ece1002-01@ece.msstate.edu

These email addresses can also be used by TAs to send emails to their particular lab section.

You need to subscribe to each section you teach, as well as to the course.

Use these URLs as a pattern:

http://www.ece.msstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/eceXXXX (to subscribe to the course mailing list for eceXXXX)

http://www.ece.msstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/eceXXXX-YY (to subscribe to the section YY mailing list for eceXXXX)

After filling in an email address and password, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail. Reply to it (or follow the instructions in it) and you will be confirmed in the mailing list.

If you send mail from any address other than the one you used to subscribe, it will be silently ignored, so be careful if you sometimes use a gmail, hotmail, or yahoo address. Only use the address that you subscribed with, for any correspondence intended for the section or course mailing list.

All email sent to the class email aliases is archived. Email sent to class sections is also archived in the main class email archive so students do not have to look up each section individually. A listing of all archived email can be found at:

http://www.ece.msstate.edu/mailman/listinfo

An email archive link is also included on each course page, as shown in the ECE1002 course page.

Be sure you subscribe yourself both to the mailing lists of the class and section(s) for your lab.
