Listserv Exception Request

Overview

Listserv (sometimes written as LISTSERV) offers a simple way to set up mailing lists. These lists allow you to share information, hold discussions, ask questions, and more via email. Each list is created and managed by a user who controls its settings and subscribers.

This service may be used to request an exception to existing Listserv policies, in order to send a single message to a list that you normally would not have privileges to post to.
