Who gets whose Mails?

Working on a tip off, we discovered that there are some interesting observations about a few batch mailing lists.

Observation 1:

For one, there has been some time since all mails sent to UG2 are landing into the mailboxes of UG1-CSE studs as well. This is because UG2's mailing list contains an entry for ug1_cse. Common sense dictates that it might have been an honest mistake. Apparently this matter has already been reported to the sysadmins, but the fact that the error still exists indicates that the reporting has gone like water on a duck's back.

Observation 2:
UG1 and UG2 beware. All mails sent to your batch's mailing list lands into Prof Kamal's mailbox as well. Someone indeed is watching what the freshers and sophomores are up to.

(Thanks to "Mr Somebody" for the tip off)

If observation2 is true, its bad really bad. Personal email ids for each batch are for their privacy. Students have their own internal issues, solution of which they have to find themselves. This is total loss of democracy...
Democracy? sry I forgot we live in an autocracy. You sometimes being an Indian side of myself dominates over being an IIITian.

Though its harmless act on part of the faculty but its totally unnecessary and is goin to be interpretted in a negative way.

ug2 mailing list is meant exculsivly for ug2 batch and none other, not even faculty. It's an act of breaching the privacy of ug2.

daz not far when we'll use 'ROGUE' as an adjective to describe IIIT

PS: why is the mail send to help@ never replied?

appaji and his girl friend prabha has been seperated so this could be the reason that he is on first year's list. Baccho apni behno ko appaji se bacha kar rakhna.
