LISTSERV® Email List Management Software
Email list management software is used to automate the administration of opt-in email lists, such as email newsletters, announcement lists, discussion groups and email communities. This type of software performs many functions that would otherwise have to be managed manually, including automatic handling of subscriptions, sign-offs, bounces and message archives. High-quality email list management software also provide security features that keep your lists secure and free from viruses and spam.
Key Functions
- Automatic Subscriptions and Sign-Offs: Email list management software allow people to automatically subscribe and unsubscribe to email lists without the list owner's involvement using a Web form or by email.
- Automatic Bounce Handling: Email list management software automatically handle bounces, regardless if the bounce is due to a bad email address, a full mailbox or an inoperational mail server.
- Automatic Archiving: Every message posted to an email list can be automatically placed in searchable list archives for future reference and made available to subscribers.
- Automatic Virus Scanning: High-quality email list management software automatically scan all email messages for viruses before delivery. Since email lists involve distribution of large volumes of email, this type of integrated virus protection is critical.
- Automatic Responses: Email list management software automatically send out templated email messages in response to events, such as subscriptions and sign-offs.
