Q: How can I use SPF and DomainKeys to
increase LISTSERV's deliverability?
Answer by Liam Kelly Senior Consulting
Analyst, L-Soft
As anti-spam and anti-phishing filters
tighten, deliverability has increasingly become an issue for mailing list
administrators. Fortunately, there are steps that administrators can take to
authenticate and protect their organizational identities. Once the email is
authenticated and the source verified, then recipients can better determine
whether the source is trusted or not.
The two most common tools for
authenticating email are SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DomainKeys. This
Tech Tip will discuss the usage of LISTSERV with each.

Q: Can LISTSERV Maestro use DomainKeys to
authenticate outgoing email messages?
Answer by Françoise Becker VP
Software Engineering, L-Soft
The DomainKeys support available in LISTSERV
can also be used by LISTSERV Maestro. First, the LISTSERV site administrator
must enable DomainKeys support as described in the LISTSERV Tech Tip. Then,
the LISTSERV Maestro administrator must define the DomainKeys settings for
LISTSERV Maestro; the administrator may impose DomainKeys usage on Maestro
users and groups, or may give them the option to turn DomainKeys on or off
for individual messages. DomainKeys signing will only be performed for email
addresses for which LISTSERV has been configured. Finally, the job creator
must specify a signable email address in the Define Sender step of the
LISTSERV Maestro job.

Quote of the Issue |
"Smithsonian Institution
first installed LISTSERV on VM (Bitnet days) in 1986 and moved to Unix about
4 years ago. LISTSERV has been a steady workhorse and is the easiest
software to maintain. Eric Thomas et alia have provided easy,
functional GUI interfaces for the list owners and a fast search engine for
the archives. LISTSERV is an extremely stable product. The tech support team
responds quickly and is very knowledgeable. I could probably expound for
hours on how happy we've been with it."
Mignon Erixon-Stanford Internet
Coordinator, Smithsonian Institution

Women, the Internet, and
Email Lists |
Increasingly, women are becoming the
majority group of Internet users. For the most part, women are using the
Internet to expand their natural role as communicators and to find new ways
to connect and develop relationships. Email lists are one way that women
interact through the Internet.
WorldWIT, the world's largest network of women in business and
technology, is run by its founder and CEO Liz Ryan and is an excellent
example of how women interact using the Internet. WorldWIT celebrates its
50,000th member in October 2006. L-Soft is proud to support WorldWIT in its
mission to connect women with answers. WorldWIT's email discussion lists are
powered by LISTSERV®.

Tuomaala, L-Soft's VP of Marketing, in WorldWIT's Thinking Aloud newsletter.

Success Story: AEGEE
AEGEE is one of the biggest
inter- disciplinary student associations in Europe. It is represented
by |
|
15,000 students,
active in 241 academic cities and in 40 countries. AEGEE has been using
LISTSERV since 1997. At that time, the Internet was not yet as widely used
as it is today, and mailing lists were still quite uncommon among students
in Europe. However, the members of AEGEE needed a way to communicate and
stay in touch with one another despite their assorted locations. |
