= Mailing-Lists =
Mailing-Lists are managed email discussion groups which can have the following features:

 User subscription / unsubscription:: Users can themselves subscribe or unsubscribe to the mailing-list.
 Web archive:: Mailing-lists can have an [[http://lists.ee.ethz.ch|archive]] of past messages on the web.
 Closed groups:: Mailing lists can be setup to only allow a restricted set of users on the list (for non-public discussions).
 Closed submission:: Mailing lists usually only allow subscribed users to post to the mailing-list, thus reducing the amount of SPAM.
 Moderation:: Mailing-lists can be configured so that every message must be first approved by an administrator of the mailing-list. This is for example useful for announcement lists.
 Web administration:: The mailing lists can be administered by the mailing-list administrator (which can be different for every list) on the web. Use the [[http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/|Mailing List Interface]]
= Existing Lists =
We host about 50 lists (some hidden to public) on our [[Email/Mailinglists/Sympa|Sympa]] server. You can find most of them on the [[http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/wws/lists|Mailing-Lists]] page, including the archives and subscription links.

= Requesting a New List =
To request a new list follow the instructions given in the [[Email/Mailinglists/Sympa/Admins|Sympa Admin Guide]] ( /!\ German only! ).
