-===== Fowarding =====
+====== Mail Forwarding ======
-See this article: [[techstaff:mail_forwarding]]
+Email forwarding has gone through many changes so what you thought was true may not be true now.
+===== @uchicago.edu =====
+[[ https://myaccount.uchicago.edu | myaccount.uchicago.edu ]] is the portal to use to change your email forwarding.
+===== @cs.uchicago.edu =====
+When a CS account is created we forward all of your CS mail(cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu) to <cnetid@uchicago.edu>.
+===== CS Change the forwarding address =====
+The only way to change your forwarding address is to ask us (techstaff@cs.uchicago.edu).
+====== Mailing Lists ======
+===== Why am I subscribed? =====
+If you ever took a course here you probably have a CS account. When you sign up for a CS account you get cnet@cs.uchicago.edu email address, which we automatically forward to your cnet@uchicago.edu address. We then subscribe you (cnet@cs.uchicago.edu) to the cs@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu mailing list.
+As a CS computer account holder we need a method to communicate with you. Mailing lists are one of the best ways to do so.
+===== Unsubscribing =====
+If you no longer want to receive the emails from any list in our department there is a link located at the bottom of every email sent out by the list host that allows you to unsubscribe.
+The link you are looking for will look something like this:
+<code>
+  https://mailman.cs.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/cs
+</code>
+. On the bottom of this page you will see a text box:
+{{techstaff:unsubscribe.png}}
+. Type your email in the text box shown above. Mostly likely this takes the format of: ''%%cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu%%''
+Please read [[ techstaff::mailinglist#the_tricky_part | The Tricky Part ]] section for details on which email you should use.
+. Click the button 'Unsubscribe or edit options'.
+. You will be taken to a page which provides a bunch of options. Look for the following 'Unsubscribing from cs'
+. Select the check box: 'Yes, I really want to unsubscribe' and click 'Unsubscribe'.
+. You will be redirected to a webpage that tells you if the unsubscribe was successful.
+<code>
+You have been successfully unsubscribed from the mailing list cs@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu. If you were receiving digest deliveries you may get one more digest. If you have any questions about your unsubscription, please contact the list owners at cs-owner@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu.
+</code>
+==== The Tricky Part ====
+This is where it gets a bit tricky because depending on what time your account was created we will have used your [[cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu]] (auto forward to [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]]) or [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]] email address. If you are unsure which email to use you will need to try both. (Try cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu before trying cnetid@uchicago.edu).
+After entering in your email you will be presented with a screen where you will be able to actually click the button to unsubscribe.
+{{techstaff:actually_unsubscribe.png}}
+Click this and you will be emailed a confirmation email. Click the link in said email and you are done.
+If you did not receive a confirmation email, you did not enter the email address that was used to subscribe you to the list.
