Overview
This documentation describes how to use the list processing software called
Listproc that runs on the ITS system lists.colorado.edu. This software
allows subscribers to send messages to e-mail lists, which
local list owners manage themselves.
List processing software allows people to create shared mailing
lists for the purpose of efficiently sending information or having
discussions among members of a particular group or community. Institutions
around the world maintain millions of these discussion groups. ITS maintains
the campus list processor at CU-Boulder, serving thousands of active
discussion and informational lists with close to 200,000 list subscribers
in total.
To get a listing of all the lists available from the ITS list processing
software, send an email message to listproc@lists.Colorado.edu.
Leave the Subject: line blank, and in the body of the message
type:
lists
Keep in mind that the response you get will be a large email, since
it will contain a couple thousand list names. Also note that many lists
are not public, so you may have to get the list owner's approval to
join.
