How automated electronic mailing lists work
Electronic mailing
lists use special mailing list software and a reflector address that are set up
on a server capable of receiving e-mail. Incoming messages sent to the
reflector address are processed by the software, and, depending on
their content, are acted upon internally (in the case of messages
containing commands directed at the software itself) or are distributed
to all e-mail addresses subscribed to the mailing list. Depending on
the software, additional addresses may be set up for the purpose of
sending commands.
Many electronic mailing list servers have a
special email address in which subscribers (or those that want to be
subscribers) can send commands to the server to perform such tasks as
subscribing and unsubscribing, temporarily halting the sending of
messages to them, or changing available preferences. The common format
for sending these commands is to send an email that contains simply the
command followed by the name of the electronic mailing list the command
pertains too. Some list servers also allow people to subscribe, unsubscribe,
change preferences, etc. via a website.
