The mailing lists have been established to ensure that the various organisational units, institutes, research groups and groups of students can communicate in an easy way. In addition to the general rules for the use of the IT-systems at RU, the following conditions also apply to the use of mailing lists:

• The mailing lists should be used with care. They are under no circumstances to be used for private or commercial purposes. For advertisements of a private nature, the mailing list markedsplads(at)ruc.dk should be used. Mails regarding job advertisements can be sent to ruc(at)moment.dk and will then be published on RU's Jobbank (in Danish).

• A mail sent to a the list of a specific subject should contain 'relevant information' for those who receive it. Mails containing irrelevant information are viewed as unsolicited electronic mail, also known as SPAM mail. It is a good rule of thumb to only write to the lists you yourself are signed up for, and always to consider the relevance of the mail before pressing Send. If in doubt, contact helpdesk(at)ruc.dk.

• It is not allowed to send a mail to many or all students or employees by using the existing subject specific mailing lists or the staff mailing lists. In this case, you should use the weekly newsletter, see here.

• Some lists are closed, i.e. you can't subscribe to them unless you contact the list owner or administrator. You can subscribe to open lists using the Subscribe/Unsubscribe page.

• The Helpdesk Secretariat reserves the right, in the event that the regulations are not complied with, to terminate the spammer's access to the Mailing lists system.
