  mailing list
       
           (Often shortened in context to "list") An
          electronic mail address that is an alias (or macro, though
          that word is never used in this connection) which is expanded
          by a mail exploder to yield many other e-mail addresses.
          Some mailing lists are simple "reflectors", redirecting mail
          sent to them to the list of recipients.  Others are filtered
          by humans or programs of varying degrees of sophistication;
          lists filtered by humans are said to be "moderated".
       
          The term is sometimes used, by extension, for the people who
          receive e-mail sent to such an address.
       
          Mailing lists are one of the primary forms of hacker
          interaction, along with Usenet.  They predate Usenet,
          having originated with the first UUCP and ARPANET
          connections.  They are often used for private
          information-sharing on topics that would be too specialised
          for or inappropriate to public Usenet groups.  Though some
          of these maintain almost purely technical content (such as the
          Internet Engineering Task Force mailing list), others (like
          the "sf-lovers" list maintained for many years by Saul Jaffe)
          are recreational, and many are purely social.  Perhaps the
          most infamous of the social lists was the eccentric bandykin
          distribution; its latter-day progeny, lectroids and
          tanstaafl, still include a number of the oddest and most
          interesting people in hackerdom.
       
          Mailing lists are easy to create and (unlike Usenet) don't
          tie up a significant amount of machine resources (until they
          get very large, at which point they can become interesting
          torture tests for mail software).  Thus, they are often
          created temporarily by working groups, the members of which
          can then collaborate on a project without ever needing to meet
          face-to-face.
       
          There are several programs to automate mailing list
          maintenance, e.g. Listserv, Listproc, Majordomo.
       
          Requests to subscribe to, or leave, a mailing list should
          ALWAYS be sent to the list's "-request" address (e.g.
          ietf-request@cnri.reston.va.us for the IETF mailing list).
          This prevents them being sent to all recipients of the list
          and ensures that they reach the maintainer of the list, who
          may not actually read the list.

     A list of names and addresses to which advertising,
     solicitations of money, or other materials material sent in

  mailing list n. (often shortened in context to `list') 1. An email
     address that is an alias (or macro, though that word is never used in
     this connection) for many other email addresses. Some mailing lists are
     simple `reflectors', redirecting mail sent to them to the list of
     recipients. Others are filtered by humans or programs of varying degrees
     of sophistication; lists filtered by humans are said to be `moderated'.
     2. The people who receive your email when you send it to such an
     address.

     `jargon-friends'), which included all the co-authors of Steele-1983.
