LISTSERV.UARK.EDU University of Arkansas Mailing List Server

LISTSERV is a system that allows creation, management, and control of large electronic mail lists for discussion of a specific topic. Electronic mailing lists make it possible for large groups of people to discuss a subject via e-mail. For example, an instructor can create a listserv list and have all of his students subscribe to the list. Then the instructor can send out e-mail messages containing class assignments and announcements to the list and all of the subscribed students will receive a copy of the message. The students can also discuss their assignments and other topics through the list.

If you subscribe to a mailing list, make sure to keep the message that will be returned to you when you subscribe. This message will have instructions on how to unsubscribe and other information. Also, be aware that some lists are "high volume" lists, and it is possible that after subscribing to one of these you might receive more e-mail than you are prepared to handle.
