LISTSERV Last modified: Friday, December 12, 2003
An automatic mailing list server developed by Eric Thomas for BITNET in 1986. When e-mail is addressed to a LISTSERV mailing list, it is automatically broadcast to everyone on the list. The result is similar to a newsgroup or forum, except that the messages are transmitted as e-mail and are therefore available only to individuals on the list. LISTSERV is currently a commercial product marketed by L-Soft International. Although LISTSERV refers to a specific mailing list server, the term is sometimes used incorrectly to refer to any mailing list server. Another popular mailing list server is Majordomo, which is freeware.
Catalists, the Official Catalog of Listserv lists Allows you to browse any of the 16,833 public LISTSERV lists on the Internet, search for mailing lists of interest, and get information about LISTSERV host sites. The site is run by L-Soft, makers of LISTSERV software. Commands for list owners This page describe LISTSERV commands for list owners.
