Introduction
The MWA collaboration is using a commercial Mailman3 service to provide members with discussion lists/exploders.
The MWA Mailing Lists are strictly for MWA Collaboration Members Only
Viewing the available MWA Member mailing lists
You can see the available MWA mailing lists here:
List Index - lists.mwatelescope.org
Do I need to sign up / register?
No, not at all! You can simply go into each list from the above page, enter your email address and click Subscribe.
However, there are significant benefits in creating an account:
You can self-manage your MWA list subscriptions.
You can manage how list emails get delivered to you- e.g. receiving each message or a regular digest instead.
You can view the mail archives for the lists to which you are subscribed.
You change your email address and other options.

Emails from the MWA mailing lists are not being delivered to my inbox
As we have recently (August 2025) migrated to a new host and new platform, it can take a while for email systems to trust emails from lists.mwatelescope.org.
There are two domains from which emails are sent for the MWA mailing lists:
lists.mwatelescope.org - Actual emails from the MWA lists
wsi.mailmanlists.au - Account management emails (e.g. signup, password reset, etc)
Here are some steps you can follow to help ensure you get emails from these lists:
First double check your Junk, Clutter or Quarantine folders/systems for your email server/client.
In your email client (e.g. Outlook), whitelist the above two domains (please see the help information for your email platform or contact your IT department).
It can help for your institution to whitelist emails from the two domains above at the server/service level. Best to contact your IT department about this.
If you are still having issues:
If you have an alternative email address (with a different provider) you might want to subscribe using that address instead as you may have more success.
You can sign in to the web interface https://mwatelescope.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MP/pages/24972057/Mailing+Lists#Viewing-the-Mailing-List-Archives and view the archives so you don’t miss any messages.
Please don’t hesitate to contact cira.sysadmins@curtin.edu.au and we will try and help.
