What is Listserv®?
Listserv® is a software program that usually helps organizations and individuals to create, manage and distribute messages to the electronic list of addressees. The software is largely maintained by the list automatically, allowing members to log in and out via E -mail. These lists are usually collections of e -mail addresses that all receive the same communication. The program can allow members to communicate with the whole group, or can only be used as a distribution list for a newsletter or e -mail with a notice.
The term The list is used in some circles has become a general term used to describe any list of e -mails. However, ListServ® is a brand that concerns a specific software program created by Eric Thomas in 1986. The message system is currently offered for sale by L-Soft, a software company founded by Thomas. There are several other companies that offer software packages that perform similar tasks and nThey are free of these alternatives.
There are several ways to use Listserv®. First, it can facilitate the online discussion group or e -mail forum. Members often send e -mail to the main e -mail address and automatically give the program to all in the group. This allows members to send e -mail to everyone else without having to get all their e -mail addresses in person.
Second, Listserv® can offer members the option to receive a shortened list of e -mail messages. For example, if a member chooses this option, he may receive an update that shows the most important actions of the week on the group e -mail. This feature can help keep the user's delivery in the potential reception of many individual messages.
Third, Listserv® can be useful simply as a central contact point where members can automatically log in or off mail. The program can then be usedIT organization of information only to people who decided. If they are used in this way, the members of the list usually do not communicate with each other. Information Anti -Balllights and Notification Pages can be sent to the entire group at the same time.
According to L-Soft, LISTERV® fights spam messages and viruses. When the software recognizes the SPAM in the message, the program usually blocks it on all available servers. This can help reduce the amount of spam sent through a distribution list. The program also usually scans messages for well -known viruses and blocks of infected messages on the list.
