LISTSERV does not have the concept of separate subscriber groups, but 
LISTSERV Maestro does. With LISTSERV Maestro, you can define a 
separate "dataset" for each group. Alternatively, you can define 
"categories" of lists within a single dataset. 

If you use separate datasets, you can completely segregate the 
different groups' subscriber data, and a separate login is required 
for each group.

With categories, you could have all the groups' lists in a single 
dataset (so that only one login is necessary to access all lists), 
but each group could have a separate page with its lists. Susbcribers 
would still have access to any public lists in other groups, but they 
wouldn't have to wade among all the lists to find their own.

See section 8 of the data administrator manual for a more thorough 
explanation of categories:

Figure 80 in Section 11 kind of shows what the Maestro subscriber 
pages look like when you have categories defined, though it is really 
a screenshot of the subscriber page customization interface, so there 
is extra stuff on the screen. Figure 77 in section 10 shows the 
default subscriber interface, but for a dataset without categories.
