Microsoft Groups/Sympa

TSO recommends that mailing list requesters go to OIT's Microsoft Groups service. Microsoft Groups offers several configurations that accommodate a wide range of use cases. You can learn more about the available configurations (including the older Sympa list option) here: Comparison of Microsoft Groups.

Mailman

TSO operates a Mailman server to manage e-mail lists that end in @cc.gatech.edu. New mailing lists can be requested using the 'Get Help' form. Due to new guidelines, when requesting a mailing list, please provide the following information:
    •    Two CoC Employees who will be the owner/co-owner of the list
    •    Any additional CoC employees who may be moderators
    •    How long the list will need to be in service (if known)
    •    A brief name for the list that is indicative of its purpose

Also, take note that the mailing list archives will not be active by default. The reasons are two-fold: first, secure Information can be transmitted via the list and end up in the archives, unintentionally presenting a security risk; and second, information from the archives can be used, along with other publicly or illegally obtained information, to build secure information.

After your list is created, you will manage it directly on https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu by logging in with your GT username and password. A complete list of available mailing lists can be viewed on Mailman. You can join or leave mailing lists by using the subscribe and unsubscribe features of each list's Mailman page. 

Some lists of interest include:

The above lists are primarily intended for official announcements, since they have such wide distribution.

One mailing list you should be aware of is security@cc. Please send security concerns, suggestions, and questions to this address, which is monitored by Administrative and TSO staff. For imminent security concerns or emergencies (e.g. intruder, suspicious activity, theft in progress), the Georgia Tech Police should be contacted immediately at 404-894-2500.
