How LISTSERV® Mailing Lists Work

Each member subscribed to a particular mailing list receives a copy of every message sent to that list via email. LISTSERV® mailing lists are email-based and can function as announcement platforms, moderated lists or discussions lists.

You can use a LISTSERV® mailing list to send email to an entire class, using just the address for the LISTSERV® list.

Common Questions

Is there a message size limit when sending from a LISTSERV®?
Yes, the maximum message size for a message sent through LISTSERV® is 10MB. This is a global value across all lists and cannot be changed. The actual message size permitted to be sent may be slightly less, as LISTSERV® adds extra information in the headers that consumes some space.
