Ask Candid Candice a question about Moo Canada:
What is a List Server?
Most e-mail addresses belong to individual people. When you sent e-mail to
those addresses, its owner receives the mail in his or her electronic mail box a
few moments later. However, there is another type of e-mail address called a
list server that forwards all incoming mail to a group of people how have
subscribed to the list.
Most list servers operate like this:
- You send e-mail to the list server's administrator (or to an automatic
robot that has been set up), requesting that you be added to the list of
subscribers.
- Then whenever you (or anyone else) sends e-mail to some central
address, that e-mail is redistributed to everyone on the list. Each person gets
a copy e-mailed to his or her address automatically.
- If get tired of the discussion you can request that your name be
removed from the list.
