FAQS: LISTSERV
Q. What is a LISTSERV?
A LISTSERV allows anyone with an email address and a basic
understanding of email principles to manage an electronic discussion
forum for either USC use (to support a local student organization,
an administrative committee or to distribute departmental faculty
announcements, class discussion and instruction, etc.) or for the
Internet community as a whole (for example, maybe you want to create
a discussion list on 18th century French poets or a mailing list for
an international conference your department is hosting). If you are
interested in starting a LISTSERV list, refer to Academic Services
LISTSERV List Request/Support
website.
Also, the
LISTSERV handout provides information for LISTSERV mailing list
participants, and includes a list of USC IT and public
information-related lists. USC's LISTSERV server also includes
a web interface for listowners and subscribers and is available at
http://listserv.sc.edu.
Contact Academic Services, 777-6015, or email
LISTMGR@VM.SC.EDU if you have
LISTSERV questions or problems.
Q. How do I subscribe to a
LISTSERV?

the body of the message the command SUB listname yourfirstname
yourlastname. Substitute the list name for listname, your first name for

Q. How do I send email to a
LISTSERV?
