Listserv Lists

From: Roger Burns <[email protected]>

The most widely used mailing list software is Revised Listserv,
developed by Eric Thomas of L-Soft. Over 200 sites run Listserv
mailing list software at no charge to the list-owners, and many may be
willing to sponsor a list for you if your proposed topic strikes their
interest.

To find a Listserv sponsor, write up a draft proposal which describes
the list you'd like to create and mail it to [email protected].
Mention in your message that you don't usually follow those discussion
groups, so could responses please be mailed to your private address.
Please only submit your proposal once. If someone is willing to host
your list, then you will hear back from him or her. Repeated proposals
for the same topic are only likely to annoy the readers of the list
and may make them less likely to want to take on new lists. For more
detailed advice on this process, send the command GET NEW-LIST CREATE
as an e-mail message to the address [email protected].

For general documents explaining Listserv, send the following commands
in the body of a message to [email protected]:

GET LISTPRES MEMO
GET LISTSERV REFCARD
GET LISTSERV MEMO

For documents about running Listserv lists, send the following
commands to that same address:

GET LISTOWNR MEMO
GET LISTOWNR REFCARD
GET LISTSERV TIPS
GET LISTKEYW MEMO

greenspun.com

Email Contact: [email protected]
Software: SPAM<TM> an RDBMS-backed Web System
Status: No Fee Service

A service intended for Web publishers who wish to collect names,
addresses, and demographic information from readers without the hassle
of maintaining a relational database themselves. It is not a mailing
list in the Listserv sense. You, the administrator, are the only
person who can send mail to the list. Users receive mail that appears
to have come directly from you. If they reply, it is directly to the
email address that you specify. Most typically, this service is used
by Web publishers to apprise readers of new documents. However, via
Web forms, you can configure SPAM to collect custom information and to
deliver custom confirmation pages. For example, you could easily use
the system to collect names of users who register to try out demo
software and then deliver them a page with downloading instructions.

The Carnell Automated Mailing List (or cAML) is an enhancement to any
web site that offers content that is constantly being updated, like an

site fill out a quick and easy form to add themselves to the list.
From then on, you have easy access to that list. More importantly, the
list has a built-in utility for sending personalized messages to each
member, and giving him his private ID (for use in changing his profile
or removing himself altogether). This frees you from the task of
relying on external email list servers to monitor the Internet for
incoming signal messages. When you want to find out who's on your list
or send mail to everyone, you simply make your way to a special page
on our site that gives you complete control of your list. In addition,
cAML software upgrades are automatic and free. cAML is a very low cost
service. At $5.00 (US) per month (no size limits), we're making cAML
the best and most popular way to maintain a mailing list.
