How It Works
To get your list started, simply send an email message to the list and get the discussion started. It won't take long!
The mail server forwards any message it receives to list members who have chosen to join (subscribe to) the discussion group. Normally, any member of the mailing list can submit an email message which goes to the entire group (unmoderated setting). Members can respond to and share feedback with other members by replying to the message. In this way, a group discussion takes place online.
