Hosting Electronic Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are a traditional method of asynchronous electronic collaboration. They
require no special skills or text formatting abilities from the user, and they can serve loads
ranging from a small workgroup on a specific project to a global membership of thousands,
even millions, of people interested in discussing the World Cup every four years.
They are easy to administer, especially if the membership does not change much over
time, and can help a website owner draw traffic with a touch of community.
The concept of an automated list is pretty simple: a list is an organized discussion among
a group of people. To initiate a discussion (or thread), you can send a single message to
the list management software, which then reflects the message to all list subscribers, that
is, to all the people interested in the discussion.
Over the years, there have been several list management tools in use: L-Soft??™s Listserv,
Majordomo, and Lyris, to name some of the best known.
