Listserv and Mailing List Resources

MAILING LIST FACT:

From Jakob Nielsen, on online communities and how much people contribute vs. lurk. "User participation often more or less follows a 90-9-1 rule: 90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don't contribute). 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time. 1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs."

History of the Name LISTSERV®

LISTSERV was the first email list management software.

The story of LISTSERV began in Paris, France 1986, when a young engineering student, Eric Thomas, wrote the first version of LISTSERV. LISTSERV was the first email list management software product of its kind. Before its invention, all email lists had to be administered manually. Mail templates were added to LISTSERV, allowing list owners to create automatic responses to specific commands and to customize the look and feel of administrative messages.

The story of LISTSERV began in Paris, France, when a young engineering student, Eric Thomas, wrote the first version of LISTSERV. LISTSERV was the first email list management software product of its kind. Before its invention, all email lists had to be administered manually.

Mail templates were added to LISTSERV, allowing list owners to create automatic responses to specific commands and to customize the look and feel of administrative messages.

1987

With the addition of database functions, LISTSERV made it possible for users to search list archives for messages about certain topics. This effectively turned LISTSERV into a large electronic encyclopedia.

1988

Eric Thomas moved to CERN in Switzerland, where the World Wide Web was invented. He continued to develop LISTSERV.

The automatically maintained list of lists further improved the searching possibilities.

The 1,000th public LISTSERV list was created.

1990

Eric Thomas was hired by SUNET (the Swedish University Network) to help build a computer network with the ambition of making Sweden the leading IT nation in Europe. Because of this, LISTSERV development continued in Stockholm, Sweden.

Passive probes were added to LISTSERV.

1991

The international BITNET network reached its peak, connecting some 1,400 organizations in 49 countries for the electronic, non-commercial exchange of information in support of research and education. Thanks largely to the volunteer efforts of Eric Thomas, BITNET provided thousands of electronic mailing lists based on LISTSERV.

Eric Thomas did not want his software to disappear with the mainframes. Therefore, he started looking for ways to port LISTSERV to other environments, such as VMS and UNIX.

1992

Eric Thomas made changes to the existing LISTSERV code to make it easier to port, should the need arise. LISTSERV was a large application and Eric estimated that it would take 35 to 50 of the mythical "man months" to complete the work, so he started looking for sponsors and grants to fund the development.

1993

The grant search proved unsuccessful. Going commercial appeared to be the only way to save LISTSERV. The first legal incarnation of L-Soft, the temporary L-Soft, was born in a lawyer's drawer. The company closed its first big sale in July. The business plan was to sell maintenance and new versions of the mainframe product, and then use the proceeds to hire programmers to port the code to VMS and UNIX.

LISTSERV was the first software to introduce double opt-in. This prevented people from getting subscribed to a LISTSERV list without wanting it.

1994

With only $3,000, a laptop and a plane ticket to New York City, Eric Thomas officially founded L-Soft in order to further develop LISTSERV.

L-Soft is Founded

In March, L-Soft released its first new product, LISTSERV-TCP/IP for VM. This new product introduced a lot of changes, most notably in the DISTRIBUTE algorithm. These changes were a pre-requisite to the development of the VMS and UNIX versions.

In May, the first versions of LISTSERV for VMS and UNIX were released.

1995

In May, the Windows NT version, along with new versions of the VM, VMS and UNIX products, were released.

LISTSERV for Windows 95 was launched the same day as Windows 95.

LISTSERV introduced its first spam filter. This was not only a first for LISTSERV, but a first for the entire industry.

1996

LISTSERV celebrated its 10th anniversary.

LISTSERV was registered as a trademark.

A LISTSERV list broke the half-million subscriber mark - a new Internet record for an email list.
LISTSERV Celebrates 10th Anniversary

CataList, the official catalog of LISTSERV lists, was launched. CataList enabled users to browse public LISTSERV lists, search for mailing lists of interest and get information about LISTSERV host sites through the Internet.

LISTSERV added the Web Interface, making the software more user-friendly by simplifying email list management and allowing users to administer and control their lists from anywhere on the Internet.

Web templates were added to LISTSERV, allowing list owners to customize the look and feel of their Web Interface pages.

1997

L-Soft released LISTSERV Lite and LISTSERV Lite Free Edition, which was designed for non-profit and hobby use only.

LISTSERV powered Carl Bildt's Newsletter. Carl Bildt, the former Prime Minister of Sweden, started the Internet revolution in politics in Europe by being the first Prime Minister in Europe who gave out his email address to the public and published an electronic newsletter.

1998

L-Soft launched NetPals, a free LISTSERV mailing list service for the international school community.

In preparation for its international expansion, L-Soft hired six European AIESEC trainees, two of which became VPs.

1999

L-Soft released a new version of LISTSERV with database connectivity and mail-merge capabilities, allowing customers to send personalized email messages to targeted recipient lists.

Eric Thomas founded L-Soft Sweden, the first office in Europe, to better serve the European customers.

2000

LISTSERV email list subscriptions surpassed 100 million worldwide.

2001

F-Secure Anti-Virus was integrated into LISTSERV. Millions of list subscribers were now protected from viruses. LISTSERV became the first mailing list manager in the industry to have built-in AV capabilities.

2002

LISTSERV got a redesigned Web interface. It included online Task Wizards, used to guide list owners through each aspect of email list management.

LISTSERV Maestro was launched. This new product enabled the creation, management, delivery, tracking and reporting of customized opt-in email marketing campaigns.

LISTSERV at Work, L-Soft's quarterly newsletter, was launched.

2003

Virus protection was introduced for all LISTSERV platforms with the launch of LISTSERV Anti-Virus Station.

2004

L-Soft celebrated its 10th anniversary.

New LISTSERV spam control features were introduced. LISTSERV could now be connected to most external spam filters, including SpamAssassin.

Customization and translation of system and confirmation messages were added to further improve internationalization.

The LISTSERV Choice Awards were launched to globally recognize outstanding email lists.

2005

LISTSERV for Mac OS X was released.

LISTSERV support for embedded mail-merge was added.

2006

New Deliverability Assessment interface, a Web-based center dedicated to maximizing deliverability of legitimate email messages, was added to LISTSERV. The assessment encompasses all three major certification standards, including DomainKeys, Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Sender ID, as well as additional DNS tests.

LISTSERV, the de facto standard for email list management software, celebrates its 20th anniversary.

The CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory (CUPS) brings together researchers working on a diverse set of projects related to understanding and improving the usability of privacy and security software and systems. Our research employs a combination of three high-level strategies to make secure systems more usable: building systems that "just work" without involving humans in security-critical functions; making secure systems intuitive and easy to use; and teaching humans how to perform security-critical tasks.

Tue, 5 May 1998

Dear Internet Educators, Good Afternoon,

What is a Listserv?

The Internet provides thousands of discussion groups via e-mail by allowing users to place themselves on electronic mailing lists. A listserv is a program that maintains one or more of these mailing lists (i. e., a list server). The program's task is to automatically distribute each e-mail message sent to the common mailbox by any member of the list to all the others on the list. Listservs maintain thousands of lists in the form of digests, electronic journals, discussion groups and the like.

When you join a listserv, your name and e-mail address are automatically added to the list. Your first email message from the listserv is usually a standard letter of welcome that describes the list's operational procedures. After this message you begin to receive every email message (posting) sent to the list by its members.

Benefits

You may benefit from the group discussions as a reader only, or join in on the discussion and post messages of your own. You may send messages to the common listserv address, in which case all members of the list will receive your message, or correspond with a single member of the listserv.

Subscribing

To subscribe to a listserv, send an e-mail message to the computerized administrator. Leave the subject field of your message blank. In the body of your message type "sub LISTSERV'S NAME your name".

Example:

Arun Tripathi's initial subscription message to the BIODIDAC listserv:

sub BIODIDAC Arun Tripathi

Unsubscribing

Conventionally, a listserv allows one to unsubscribe from it just as easily as one subscribes. You can unsubscribe (request to be taken off the mailing list) by sending a message similar to your initial subscription message, containing the command to unsubscribe.

Important Facts to Note:

1.Some listservs may fill your e-mail box with 10-30 messages each day. Try subscribing to no more than 2 or 3 different listservs at one time. You can also set your mail to DIGEST, just sending an e-mail to the required listserv in the body of the message as SET <list-name> DIGEST .

2.Do not delete the first welcome message; it usually contains instructions on unsubscribing, among other useful info. You may later need to refer to these instructions.
