How to set up a Mailman mailing list

IT support creates and names all Mailman mailing lists. Find your local IT support to the right. Please inform IT support if you want to set up a staff list or a student organisation list.

IT support needs information about who owns the Mailman mailing list. All Mailman mailing lists must have an owner who is identified with an AU ID. The owner is NOT a person i AU IT.

For student organisation Mailman mailing lists, the administator must be an active student with a @post.au.dk email address. 

If AU IT can see that the administrator does not have a staff email or a post.au.dk email, the Mailman list will be closed.

NB! The owner can appoint more administrators.
