UGCS now uses [http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html Mailman] to manage mailing lists. You can access Mailman's web interface at https://hermes.ugcs.caltech.edu/.  You need to give your UGCS username and password to authenticate to it.  Currently, we still have Mailman's password scheme of a management password for each list and a user password for each user on each list, but are working on making Mailman part of our Single-Sign On architecture. For the time being, creating lists is disabled- but we plan to have it enabled as soon as possible.  If you urgently need a list created, email a sysadmin.

UGCS Email

UGCS provides extensive email services for its users.

Contents

Setup

  • If you are using an external client such as Thunderbird or Outlook, you can set them up to use IMAP or POP with our email server settings
  • If you use Mutt, it is automatically set up to read mail from your home directory. You currently cannot send mail from Mutt- it is a surprisingly complex problem that we are working on.
  • If you use Pine or Alpine, see Pine Setup
  • If you want to forward your mail somewhere else, you can use the utility mail_forward to set up forwarding.

Webmail

UGCS is proud to offer several webmail options. Roundcube is a nice, slick webmail interface that can be accessed at https://hermes.ugcs.caltech.edu/roundcube. If you don't want the features of Roundcube, and just want a simple mail interface, Squirrelmail is available at https://hermes.ugcs.caltech.edu/squirrelmail/src/login.php

Mailing Lists

UGCS now uses Mailman to manage mailing lists. Currently, we still have Mailman's password scheme of a management password for each list and a user password for each user on each list, but are working on making Mailman part of our Single-Sign On architecture.
