LISTSERV Features & Benefits

Supports All List Types: LISTSERV supports all types of email lists, including announcement lists and both moderated and unmoderated discussion groups, offering a great deal of configuration flexibility.

Automatic Subscriptions: LISTSERV allows users to automatically subscribe, unsubscribe and maintain their subscription settings through the Web interface, eliminating manual processing and saving time.

Automatic Bounce Handling: LISTSERV automatically takes care of email delivery errors, or bounces. This saves time, making email list management easier and more manageable.

Personalization: LISTSERV allows personalized email messaging when integrated with a recipient or customer database, allowing for highly targeted and customized mailings.

Searchable Web Archives: LISTSERV automatically maintains searchable message archives that support both text and HTML messages as well as attachments.

RSS Support: LISTSERV supports RSS feeds, allowing subscribers to view messages using an RSS reader. The RSS support also features RSS abstracts, which are generated automatically from the text of the message, or may be specified explicitly.

Multiple License Sizes: LISTSERV comes in multiple license sizes, making it ideally suited for small and large customers alike. Upgrading to a larger license is always easy and does not normally require reinstallation.

Virus Protection: LISTSERV is the only software of its kind with built-in virus protection (for Windows and Linux). The system scans all messages for viruses before delivery, keeping your lists safe and secure.

Deliverability: LISTSERV provides a deliverability assessment, which analyzes LISTSERV and DNS configurations, including DomainKeys, SPF and Sender ID, giving concrete suggestions on improving deliverability.

Spam Control: LISTSERV offers an integrated blacklist/whitelist system and compatibility with third-party spam filters, which can be used to prevent spam from reaching your LISTSERV site.

Database Connectivity: LISTSERV can connect with most ODBC-compliant (Windows and Unix) databases; Microsoft SQL Server; IBM DB2; ORACLE; and MySQL, allowing great flexibility with your choice of database.

Customizable Web Interface: LISTSERV's Web interface can be completely customized to fit seamlessly with your existing Website, which allows you to maintain a uniform look and feel for your entire Web presence.
