Distribution Lists

Distribution Lists: Defined

Distribution list is a term sometimes used for a function of email clients where lists of email addresses are used to email everyone on the list at once. This can be referred to as an electronic mailshot. It differs from a mailing list, electronic mailing list or the email option found in an Internet forum as it is usually for one way traffic and not for coordinating a discussion. In effect, only members of a distribution list can send mails to the list.

Listserv Distribution Lists

A Listserv allows individuals to subscribe (i.e., join) the List as well as unsubscribe or discontinue membership as desired. A Listserv is created to provide an electronic forum to discuss topics of a common interest. When a message is sent (or posted) to the List, that message is automatically distributed to the list members. Most Listserv's provide an archive feature which preserves all messages sent to the list so that a subscriber can review all past messages.
