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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If get tired of the discussion you can request that your name be removed from the list.
