LISTSERV Site Registration Form
This form will allow you to submit registration information for LISTSERV to L-Soft. Note that registration is not automatic. All registration requests are verified by humans. This form is for registering licensed LISTSERV Classic and HPO sites only.
Please do not submit this form before reading the requirements for registration below. If your site does not meet the requirements, your site will not be registered.
Requirements for Registration
L-Soft registers only sites that have unlimited (UNITS=0) licenses or sites licensed for DISTRIBUTE-only use, which are running version 1.8d or higher of LISTSERV Classic or LISTSERV HPO.
If you have not yet purchased a license for LISTSERV and are running with an evaluation key (such keys have a line that starts with "SERIAL=EVAL-"), your site does not qualify for registration.
In order to qualify for registration, a LISTSERV site must also:
- Be readily accessible via the Internet by email from outside users
- Have a name that is unlikely to change any time soon. For instance, LISTSERV.EXAMPLE.ORG, LISTS.EXAMPLE.EDU, and LSV.EXAMPLE.COM are completely acceptable (although we strongly suggest using "LISTSERV" rather than "LISTS" or "LSV", simply because that is what most users are familiar with), whereas something like A8B703A.CC.EXAMPLE.EDU is not. If you are running a test server that you plan to rename later when it goes into production, do not register the server until it is running under its final name. Note also that a hostname containing "LISTSERVE" is not acceptable.
- Have an A or MX record in DNS corresponding to the value you place in the NODE section (an A record is recommended at minimum)
If your LISTSERV Classic site does not meet the above criteria, there are other options for keeping your LISTSERV networking tables current (which is the most important reason for registering the software). Click here for information on other ways to obtain table updates.
L-Soft does not register sites running evaluation kits, LISTSERV Lite or LISTSERV shareware. Requests to register such sites will be discarded.
L-Soft cannot register intranet sites since by definition such sites are not accessible via the Internet. Registration requires that your LISTSERV site be readily accessible via email by outside users.
