What is a Listserv Mailing List?
- A listserver is a system designed to simplify the process of sending the same message to a group of people via e-mail.
- The e-mail is sent to the mailing list address, and the listserver distributes the message to everyone who is subscribed to the mailing list.
- Listserv mailing lists (also referred to as listservs) are very adaptable. For example, lists can be configured to facilitate discussion among list members, or to act as a one-way communication pipeline to subscribers.
- List owners can add and remove subscribers, or allow users to subscribe and un-subscribe themselves.
To apply for an mailing list on OSU's Listproc system, fill out the online Mailing list (listserv) application.
