EECS Email Alias Structure

The following information is of restricted use and should not be posted on other pages, to prevent mass distribution of SPAM mail.
The '@eecs.uottawa.ca' alias is assumed as default when the domain has not been specified for an alias. For example, the alias 'council' refers to council@eecs.uottawa.ca.
Aliases marked with an (*) indicate lists that are automatically extracted from a querry on EECS's database.
Many of the EECS aliases that reach large groups of users are not accessible from outside of Campus, to limit spam and abuse. This includes the profs, grads, course aliases, etc. If you wish to send an email to these aliases from outside campus, use the EECS web-based email system, available from the 'Quick Picks' menu item on most EECS web pages. These addresses will also be rewritten as '<undisclosed-recipients:>;' (to limit the visibility of these lists, which have in the past used by students to send unsollicited emails). It is however useful to indicate the name of the recipients of the message, and you can do so by specifying the name of the alias textually, using the format: 'EECS professors <profs@eecs.uottawa.ca>'. The recipients will see: 'To: EECS professors <undisclosed-recipients:>'.
The aliases to include to ensure the maximum coverage of the members of EECS are: allprofs@eecs.uottawa.ca, part-time-profs@eecs.uottawa.ca,staff@eecs.uottawa.ca, grads@eecs.uottawa.ca and researchers@eecs.uottawa.ca.

General EECS aliases

TA aliases (*)	The TA aliases can be used to reach all EECS TAs for a given semester, or TAs assigned to a course: To reach all EECS TAs for a given semester, the year/month must be used to identify which semester is to be used. Semesters are identified as 1 for winter, 5 for summer and 9 for fall. For example, to reach all TAs for the summer 2012 semester, you would send the email to tas.20125@eecs.uottawa.ca. You can also use the TAcourse aliases to reach all TAs assigned to a course. These aliases also include the professor responsible for the course. Hence, to reach the professor and all TAs assigned to course ELG1100 section A, use the alias taelg1100a@eecs.uottawa.ca.
course aliases (*)	You can send an email to all students registered in your course by sending the email to the course code (including the section). This email will reach all students registered in the course, the professor, and the TAs assigned to the course. For example, to reach the students, professor and TAs of ELG1100 section A, use the alias elg1100a@eecs.uottawa.ca. These aliases are kept for one semester after the end of the course. Note that for undergraduate students, the email will be sent to their @uottawa.ca address. It is the student's responsibility to read their email at that address, or to set up forwarding for that address. As an alternate method, you can also use the course email function within infoweb...
