Go to https://portal.stat.ubc.ca/stat-mailaliases which will list available mail aliases and their membership in your web browser.
If the STAT portal is unavailable:
Manual method
Login to our Unix servers (login.stat.ubc.ca)
$ ssh your_email@stat.ubc.ca
Type this:
$ less /usr/local/data/stat-mailaliases/aliases
and browse through to get necessary information. It will contain lines like these:
help:tha,thi,binh.dang
grads:grad
students:grad
Which explain that "help" includes "thi, tha and binh.dang" are in the help group. There is no mysterious difference between "grad", "grads" and "students" in our department.
Also, there will be lines like the following:
grad: :include:/etc/stat-mailaliases/grad.list
which instructs us look at the given file to get the list of people included into "grad" alias. To look at this list just pull this file on your screen by
less /usr/local/data/stat-mailaliases/grad.list
You will see a simple one-name-by-line list of all grad students' emails.
