GPIA Listserv

By far the most common means of communication within the program is via the GPIA listserv. The GPIA list serve includes students and faculty in the program. In order to be part of the listserv you have to subscribe yourself. We encourage all students to subscribe to the listserv to receive notification of important and interesting announcements and events. You may subscribe from any email address. Here’s how:

To subscribe to GPIA

Send e-mail, from the address that you want subscribed, to: majordomo@newsite.newschool.edu

Subject:

Message: subscribe GPIA

To unsubscribe from GPIA

Send e-mail, from the address that you want unsubscribed, to: majordomo@newsite.newschool.edu

Subject:

Message: unsubscribe GPIA

 

To send mail to everyone on the GPIA list

Address your mail to gpia@newsite.newschool.edu.

NOTES:

1. You must send your mail from the address that is subscribed to GPIA, otherwise it will reject the message as being from a “non-member.” This feature prevents us from receiving spam from outside sources through the listserve.

2. Yahoo occasionally rejects emails that are sent with more than 500 recipients. Since the GPIA listserve has more than 500 recipients, messages are sometimes not delivered to yahoo email addresses! We therefore strongly encourage to use alternative email providers to subscribe to the GPIA listserve (e.g. your New School email account).

Majordomo is a software program that is used to manage mailing lists. It is not a person, so it must be communicated with according to strict rules! The command must begin the first line of the message area, and you must leave the subject blank (as above). Never use the majordomo address when you want to send mail to an individual or to the list serve itself. For more information see here.

Unfortunately, the New School list hosting services do not include automatic digest format. Several people have requested this feature, and these suggestions have been passed along, but for the moment it is not possible to receive a weekly digest of mail sent to GPIA. The GPIA Listserve is an unmoderated list! Please use common sense, courtesy, and discretion in sending announcements, comments, and responses to the list. Users who act irresponsibly or illegally (see here) are subject to removal from the list.
