Email Lists

When you get a NERSC user account, an email alias is created for you of the form

 username@nersc.gov

username@nersc.gov is an email alias that will forward mail to your delivery email address.

The Iris accounting interface will display your delivery address under the Details tab. Please keep your contact information in Iris up-to-date. Announcements of interest to NERSC's user community are made via email and saved in email archives. NERSC also supports a number of user email lists. NERSC email lists are managed through Google Groups.

NERSC's major lists and their archives are described in the following table. Below the table are brief instructions for subscribing to these lists.
