| LISTSERV also: LISTSERVE |
"LISTSERV"® is a licensed registered trademark for an "opt-in" mailing list system that permits people to send one email which gets distributed automatically to many other people with similar interests. This system was developed in 1986 and licensed/registered by L-Soft. The term has come to be used rather loosely to refer to any such system.
