E-mails are one of the most powerful feature we had in internet world, today emails have become a integral part of our daily routine. Today the number of emails send are much more then phone calls made around the world, thus you can see the importance of  email hosting. Thus for making most out of emails we have a feature called Mailing list. It’s a list made up of subscribers who have preferred emails as the medium of communication.  You can consider joining a ‘mailing list’ is a way of saying “Keep me informed”;
Usually emails are considered as one to one communication activity but in mailing list you get in touch with hundred/thousands of people at a given point of time.  Mailing list encourage us a greater and more varied amount of email activity as bothway communication to a full interactive open to public communication. You can restrict the list for private circles also. Usually emails are used for circulating announcements, newsletters and advertisements.  You can classified mailing list in 2 different categories ‘ One-Way and ‘Two-Way’ mailing lists.  In one-way mailing list either accepts or sends information, the user only interacting with the list server; and a two-way list creates interaction between sender and receiver.  One-way incoming mailing lists are still used for sending announcements, newsletter etc. E-mail Spam is another example of a one-way outgoing mailing list. Using two way mailing list users can interact with other subscribers to that mailing list. Its based on subscribers and all users involved in it are requested for signing up for this service. Such list subscription can be open or public. If its open/public then anyone can subscribe to it and if its private then restricted or known authorities can subscribe to it.  Almost all affordable web hosting service provider do support mailing list.
