LISTSERV 15.0 improves performance of e-mail discussion groups and
brings many new features
The LISTSERV system at Wayne State supports the creation, management, and
control of e-mail discussion groups/communities, newsletters, and announcement
lists for the university community.
The June 24, 2007, Computing & Information Technology (C&IT)
LISTSERV upgrade to Version 15.0 brings
a number of technical enhancements that improve performance along with features
such as the following:
- Spam control – many improvements to curtail spam
for list owners.
- Enhanced Web interface – completely redesigned
to improve usability and navigation.
- List archives – now fully displays HTML and multipart
messages and allows easy access to attachments.
- List Owner dashboard – provides list owners with
at-a-glance summary information about their lists, customable reporting
options, and tools to accomplish many common tasks.
- User-friendly configuration wizard – guides list
owners through editing the list header.
- Expanded configuration settings – new list header
keywords give owners more list management options.
How the upgrade affects WSU students, faculty, and staff
- The LISTSERV 15.0 Web pages look different for both list owners
and subscribers. See http://www.lsoft.com/products/listserv_flash_demo.asp for
a demo showing the Web interface.
- List subscribers can still send and receive messages in the
same way they have in the past.
- List owners (faculty, staff, and student organizations) do not have
to make any changes to their lists, as all current configuration settings
continue to work as before.
- The Web interface for list owners and subscribers is still accessed
at http://lists.wayne.edu .
