set up a REAL mailinglist.
-- http://www.freelists.org/ Thanks for the tip. I just checked it out, and I fail to see how this service provides any advantage over just creating a mailing list using any common email software. What am I missing? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

For one thing you don't have to maintain the list of email addresses anymore. If someone wants to get your news letter they go to a website or send an email to subscribe and it happens automatically. Then if they decide they don't want the messages anymore they can either go to the website or send an message with a command to unsubscribe. Many people like this more than news groups. The other advantage is it sends out a separate email to everyone on the list instead of one message with everyones name in the To: header. -- Chris W Bring Back the HP 15C http://hp15c.org Not getting the gifts you want?

I have a "real" mailing list. Many or most AOL addresses bounce.
The virtue of a mailing list is that there is no limit on how many addresses you can send to. With my email software, and with my provider, outgoing messages are refused if there are more than 25? 30? something like that recipients. You can also set up the list so that additions and deletions are handled by the list, which some people prefer (I might not want to tell you I no longer want to get your newsletter). Personally, I do it manually, because I get subscribers from a couple of different routes.

I just checked it out, and I fail to see how this service provides any advantage over just creating a mailing list using any common email software. What am I missing? as Chris W already pointed out. Mailinglists are the preferred method of distributing mails to many recipients. it has built in features like confirmed (!!) opt-in, password reminders, web-archives, digest setting, moderation, vacation, me-too, ACKs, filters, etc. etc. you might also set up different lists like: IOW-announce IOW-discuss unsubscribing from a list is easy. unsubscribing from a list maintained in your mailclient is not, you always rely on the maintainer. hth, #m -- Michael Moo Fahrenheit 9/11: http://www.fahrenheit911.com/ |
