A mailing list is a way of having a group discussion by electronic mail or distributing announcements to a large number of people. A mailing list is very much like a conference, except that the conversation comes to you in your e-mailbox. Each time you or any member of the list posts a reply to the conversation, it is distributed to the e-mailbox of every member of the list. All of this traffic is automated and managed by programs called mailing list managers (MLMs).
