About LISTSERVs What's a Listserv?

"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 International. The terms LISTSERV and Listserve have come to be used rather loosely and interchangeably to refer to any such system.

"CataList" is a service mark of L-Soft international, Inc. and provides the official catalog of LISTSERV® lists.

Note: "MOLLUSCAlist" is a mailing list, but not a "LISTSERV"®, and is therefore not on this official listing of "LISTSERV"® lists.

How does it work?

You subscribe to a mailing list (commonly called "the list"); you then compose ONE email and send it to ONE address... "the list" address. The system then takes that email and distributes it to all other people that have subscribed to the list! That could be 2 other people... could be 1,000 or more! Other members of "the list" do the same thing, and you (and all other members) receive their email. Post a question to the list, and one person or several may respond!

YOU are in control:

YOU decide when to "subscribe".

YOU decide when to "signoff" (i.e., UNsubscribe or remove yourself from the list).

YOU decide whether or not to post to the list or to simply "lurk and learn".
