LISTSERVS, also called mailing lists, are a way of
communicating via email on various topics of interest by
joining a particular email discussion group. LISTSERV is a
program whereby emails sent to a mailing list are then
forwarded to everyone else on that mailing list.
Mailing List Tips has general information about how to
subscribe and post to mailing lists. To search for a
particular LISTSERV topic go to
CataList, the catalog of LISTSERV lists or
Liszt:
Directory of E-Mail Discussion Groups. If you still
can't find a listserv related to your subject matter, try
looking in some of the places listed below. Also, you could
visit a related newsgroup and ask if there is a mailing list
on that topic. Or you might find out about a listserv while
researching your topic at a website.
Some mailing lists have archived their previous postings and
these archives are available on the internet for browsing. If
you can't find the archive site for a particular listserv, you
can ask about it in a post after joining that mailing list. To
browse or search the various cancer list archives, go to
The Medical Information Archives.
You can search for listserv groups
according to topic by sending an email to this address:
listserv@listserv.net.
Leave the subject line blank and in body of message type:
list global topic (instead of the word topic--type in your
choice of topic , for example, cancer). So you would type
list global cancer and you will get a list of known cancer
listservs.
Occasionally a
group's listing might be hard to find, for example there is a
mailing list for multiple myeloma. To join send an e-mail to:
listserv@listserv.acor.org leave the subject line
blank and in body of e-mail type: subscribe myeloma
or for the digest version type: subscribe
myeloma-digest
.
After joining send your posts to the following address:
myeloma@listserv.acor.org.

mailing list, here is an excellent site with information on
providers and how to get started:
