The people who manage a mailing list are known as the list's administrators or owners. In this article we'll refer to them just as owners. A mailing list normally has one owner, but some have several co-owners.
To find out who owns a particular mailing list, follow these steps:
Some mailing lists are named and addressed according to the departments they serve, such that the school or department is shown as the mail domain name before the list name, but given after the @ sign in the list's email address (for example, bmec_listname would be emailed as listname@bmec.sussex.ac.uk). All USSU (Students Union) mailing lists in particular are always named ussu_listname but are emailed as listname@ussu.sussex.ac.uk. When looking for a domained mailing list's owner, remember to enter the list name as domain_listname, such as ussu_listname in the box in step 2 above (for example, ussu_cake-club).
You can email the owner of any Sussex mailing list, without knowing who they are, by sending an email to listname-owner@sussex.ac.uk, where listname is the exact name of the mailing list. For example, for a mailing list called cake-club, the list owner can be emailed at cake-club-owner@sussex.ac.uk. For a domained mailing list (for example ussu_cake-club), you would email ussu_cake-club-owner@sussex.ac.uk).
If a mailing list has more than one owner, your email will be sent to all the co-owners.
