- | ====== 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: | ||
- | < | ||
- | https:// | ||
- | </ | ||
- | On the bottom of this page you will see a text box: | ||
- | {{techstaff: | ||
- | ==== 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. 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 in the correct email address. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Why is this so complicated? | ||
- | There isn't any good reason... Just that the list host has existed for many years. | ||
