A mailing list is a collection of
names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send
material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include
the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is
referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".
At least two quite different types of mailing lists can be defined: the
first one is closer to the literal sense, where a "mailing list" of people
is used as a recipient for newsletters, periodicals or advertising.
Traditionally this was done through the postal system, but with the rise
of e-mail, the electronic mailing list became popular. The second type
allows members to post their own items which are broadcast to all of the
other mailing list members.
When similar or identical material is sent out to all subscribers on a
mailing-list, it is often referred to as a mailshot or blast. A list for
such use can also be referred to as a distribution list.
In legitimate (non-spam) mailing lists, individuals can subscribe or
unsubscribe themselves.

Mailing lists are often rented or sold. If rented, the renter agrees
to use the mailing list for only contractually agreed-upon times. The
mailing list owner typically enforces this by "salting" the mailing
list with fake addresses and creating new salts for each time the list
is rented. Unscrupulous renters may attempt to bypass salts by renting
several lists and merging them to find the common, valid addresses.
Mailing list brokers exist to help organizations rent their lists. For
some organizations, such as specialized niche publications or
charitable groups, their lists may be some of their most valuable
assets, and mailing list brokers help them maximize the value of their
lists. |
