JMU LISTSERV Services

Overview

LISTSERV software enables e-mail users to create and maintain large e-mail lists. Announcements, newsletters, moderated and open discussion groups are supported. List sizes can range from a few participants in a discussion group to several hundred or even thousands. Your lists can be maintained and used by one or more people.

These lists can be used for one-way or two-way communication among the members of the lists depending on how the list is configured. 

  • Examples of one-way communication include the distribution of announcements and newsletters. 
  • Examples of two-way communication include moderated and un-moderated discussion groups. The number of members in a list can range from a few participants in a discussion group to several hundred or even thousands.

Lists remain on the server as long as they are active. Inactive lists (lists that have had no messages for one year) are subject to deletion. List owners will be notified and given an opportunity to retain an inactive list before it is deleted.
