A mailing list, also called a distribution list is a group of e-mail names and addresses given a single name. When a message is sent to a mailing list, every person on the list receives a copy of the message in his or her mailbox. To add your e-mail name and address to a mailing list, you subscribe to it (Figure 2-29). To remove your name, you unsubscribe from the mailing list. Some mailing lists are called LISTSERVs, named after a popular mailing list program.
Thousands of mailing lists exist about a variety of topics in areas of entertainment, business, computers, society, culture, health, recreation, and education. To locate a mailing list dealing with a particular topic, search for the keywords, mailing list or LISTSERV, in a search engine. Many vendors use mailing lists to communicate with their customer base.
