An e-mail distribution list, used to circulate
requested information or group discussions. Mailing lists rival
newsgroups in their diversity, and are used for everything from the
simple dissemination of product information to heated discussions of the
finer points of non-ferrous metal welding.
Anyone with access to an internet server can set up a mailing list
(hence the vast number of lists in circulation) using server software such
as listserv or majordomo. |
