Introduction
LISTSERV is an industry standard email list application which can host lists facilitating discussions (both moderated and un-moderated), announcements, or mixed usage. List memberships can be as small as a few people up to several thousand. Management can be shared among multiple individuals as can moderation. In some situations, membership can be dynamically managed based on UWRF directory information.
