LISTSERV Tech Tip
Q:
Why are messages sent to my list being delayed by ten minutes?
By Jacob Haller
Senior Support Engineer, L-Soft

LISTSERV delays messages from non-subscribers and new subscribers for ten minutes by default. It does this as part of its spam prevention system. If a spammer sent identical messages to a large number of email lists and this delay wasn't in place, then early messages in this spam attack might get through. The delay allows time for evidence to accumulate so that LISTSERV can intercept all the messages that are part of the attack.

Reclaiming Real Dialogue in a Hyper-Reactive World (Part 2)

By Teresia Sjödin
Global Communication Designer, L-Soft
If last month was about reclaiming real dialogue, then this month is about the places and people who still make it possible. In a world shaped by automation and constant noise, it's easy to forget that true understanding comes from real humans listening to one another. And for that, we need communication spaces built with the same intention: steady, thoughtful and designed to help conversations grow.
