LISTSERV: LSU Overview


LSU runs a mailing list manager called LISTSERV from L-Soft International. LISTSERV is e-mail list management software that supports:

  • E-mail newsletters
  • Announcement / distribution lists
  • Discussion communities and similar group communications

LISTSERV lists use addresses in the form listname@listserv.lsu.edu and are administered by designated list owners.

 

Who can use LISTSERV?

Requests for new lists are available to active LSU faculty and staff and to recognized student organizations working through a faculty or staff sponsor.

Ownership requirements
  • Every LISTSERV must have at least one LSU faculty or staff member listed as an owner and responsible party at all times.
  • Students and external individuals may not be the sole owner of a LISTSERV list; lists that end up with only a student or outside owner will be disabled until a faculty or staff member assumes ownership.
