Mailing lists

Authors: Nova[有線魔女] <novaburst@envs.net>

"An electronic mailing list or email list is a special use of email that allows for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users. It is similar to a traditional mailing list – a list of names and addresses – as might be kept by an organization for sending publications to its members or customers, but typically refers to four things:

• a list of email addresses
• the people ("subscribers") receiving mail at those addresses, thus defining a community gathered around a topic of interest.
• the publications (email messages) sent to those addresses, and
• a reflector, which is a single email address that, when designated as the recipient of a message, will send a copy of that message to all of the subscribers. "

Quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_mailing_list
