Sent daily to regulars and others in academia (2,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

et al

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'others in academia' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'sent daily to regulars' is the wordplay.
'to regulars' indicates alternate letters.
'sent'+'daily'='sentdaily'
The alternate letters of 'sentdaily' are 'ET AL'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for et al that I've seen before include "And the rest, to the old Romans" , "And others (abbr)" , "along with others" , "Latin abbreviation meaning 'and others'" , "Latin notation meaning and others" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
