Listservs
Overview: The L-Soft listserv software enables e-mail list management. It allows users to create and maintain e-mail lists on JMU Information Technology system servers. Announcements, newsletters, moderated and un-moderated discussion groups are supported. List sizes can range from a few participants in a discussion group to several hundred or even thousands. Your lists can be maintained and used by one or more people.
