A list of email addresses used to send messages to groups or forums, usually about a particular topic.
A collection of e-mail addresses identified by a single name; mailing lists provide a simple way of corresponding with a group of people with a common interest or bond. There are two main types of lists: 1) one you create within an e-mail program like Eudora that contains addresses for two or more individuals you frequently send the same message; and 2) a Listserve type that requires participants to be subscribed (e.g., a group of collaborators, a class of students, or often just individuals interested in discussing a particular topic). For information about obtaining a Listserve mailing list, contact OIT at 688-HELP.
E-mail electronic private discussion groups that link a relatively small group of people with a common interest. If you belong to a mailing list, you will receive mail from any member of the list that posts mail to it.
A mailing list is a way of having a group discussion by electronic mail or distributing announcements to a large number of people. A mailing list is very much like a conference, except that the conversation comes to you in your e-mailbox. Each time you or any member of the list posts a reply to the conversation, it is distributed to the e-mailbox of every member of the list. All of this traffic is automated and managed by programs called mailing list managers (MLMs).
A group of e-mail addresses that are used for easy and fast distribution of information to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously. This is a convenient method for people on different computer systems to discuss particular topics or share information on specific issues.
Mailing lists are similar to newsgroups in that messages posted to them are viewed by many recipients. However, they differ in two key respects. First, a reader must subscribe to a mailing list if he or she wishes to read messages posted there. For example, a mailing list devoted to Gospel Music is inaccessible to anyone who has not sent a subscription request to the server that hosts the list. Second, many mailing lists are moderated and do not allow random pornographic messages nor flames. In essence, a mailing list merely takes an e-mailed posting from one of its subscribers and forwards it to the remaining subscribers. From a parental control point of view, mailing lists are a problem if devoted to inappropriate topics.

A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".
