ListServ is a type of an automated mailing list server which allows you to automatically subscribe to a mailing list and receive emails about specific topics. It was developed by Eric Thomas for BITNET in the year 1986.  When an email is addressed to a LISTSERV mailing list, it is automatically made public to everyone on the list. The result is similar to a newsgroup or forum, except that the messages are transmitted as e-mail and are therefore available only to individuals on the list. To subscribe to these groups, you typically send email to the Listserver and say something like “subscribe ….”  in the body or subject line of the message. A computer will interpret your email, and add you to the periodic mailing list.
