List Server

Mail List Server

The List Server lets you set up automated mailing lists. These automated lists are known as "list-server mailing lists;" they differ dramatically from a simple group alias (which is just a name for a list of users). A list-server mailing list can receive mail and re-send the mail to all the users on the mailing list. List-server mailing lists are
used widely on the Internet to share information about a topic.

Mail that is received by a list-server mailing list and re-sent to the list subscribers is "posted". The type of list determines those who can post to a particular list. There are three types of basic lists:

  • Open lists (to which anyone can post a message; the poster need not even subscribe to the list)
  • Subscriber lists (to which only subscribers can post)
  • Moderated lists (to which only the list owner can post)
For more in-depth information please refer to the online help in the Email Control Panel.
