A number of mailing lists have been created to support the Australian physics community.

What is a mailing list?

A mailing list is a central email address to which you send information for distribution to people who have indicated an interest in receiving information in a particular field of interest.

For example, anyone interested in keeping abreast of employment opportunities in physics would subscribe to the PHYSICS-EMPLOYMENT mailing list (using the procedure outlined later in this document). Any announcements relating to employment can be directed to Physics-Employment@newcastle.edu.au and they will be automatically forwarded to everyone subscribing to that list.

At any time an individual can subscribe to a list or if they no longer want to maintain contact with a particular field, they can unsubscribe. The receipt of information is entirely voluntary - you will only receive it if you subscribe to a list.

All lists are moderated to filter out spam messages.

How do I subscribe to a list?

To subscribe to a particular list use a web browser to visit the appropriate registration site:

• EMPLOYMENT: http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/physics-employment
• HEADS OF DEPARTMENT: http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/physics-hod
• SURFACE: http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/physics-surface
• TEACHERS: http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/physics-teachers

How do I send a message to be broadcast to everyone on a particular list?

To send an email message to everyone on list PHYSICS-XXXXX, send or forward the message to PHYSICS-XXXXX@NEWCASTLE.EDU.AU and it will be distributed to all subscribers to the list.
