Apa itu Mailing list? [english version]

Mailing list adalah group diskusi dimana setiap orang bisa berlangganan dan berpartisipasi didalamnya. kita dapat membaca mail orang lain dan kemudian mengirimkan balasannya.

Secara sederhana, Mailing list adalah sebuah daftar alamat alamat email  yang mempunyai kesukaan/kepentingan yang sama.

 

Jika seseorang mengirimkan surat yang kemudian dikirimkan ke semua orang yang terdapat di dalam daftar, terserah kita apakah kita ingin mereply mailnya, mengirim mail baru atau hanya membaca tanpa ikut berdiskusi.

 

Setiap kali kita atau orang lain mereply sebuah mail, mail tersebut didistribusikan ke setiap mail box masing masing orang yang terdapat di dalam daftar.

Semua proses ini diatur oleh sebuah program yang dinamakan Mailing List Manager (MLM'S) atau Mail Servers.

 

 

What is mailing list?

Mailing list are public discussions that anyone can subscribe to and participate in. You read what other have written and post your own reply. Mailing list is simply a list of e-mail addresses of people interested in the same subject. Someone sends out a message and it goes to everybody on the list. You can reply to the messages, send new messages, or just lurk, reading the messages without participating. It's up to you.

Each time you or anyone else on the list posts a reply, it's distributed to the e-mail box of everyone else on the list. All of this traffic is automatically managed by programs called Mailing List Managers (MLM'S) or Mail Servers.

 

The key advantage of a mailing list over a newsgroup is that instead of having to go somewhere to read or retrieve the contents of a discussion, it is automatically sent to you via e-mail.

1. Subscribe satu atau dua mailing list terlebih dahulu, kemudian lihat banyaknya mail yang anda terima, setelah itu baru anda subscribe mailing list yang lain.
   
2. Simpan dan baca instruksi instruksi yang diberikan setelah anda subscribe ke salah satu mailing list.
   
3. Matikan/unsubscribe mailing list yang anda ikuti pada saat anda sedang berlibur. Dan subscribe kembali setelah anda kembali. Mailing list yang dengan traffic mail yang banyak menimbulkan beratus ratus mail setiap harinya dan akan menumpuknya mail pada mailbox anda sehingga akan mempengaruhi kapasitas penyimpanan pada server.

Here are some additional tips for using mailing lists:

1. Subscribe to one or two mailing lists at a time, then wait to see how many messages you receive before you subscribe to any others.
   
2. Save the list subscription instructions. After you send your subscription request e-mail message, you will get a response with instructions on how it works and perhaps most important, how to leave it. You are expected to read and save these instructions. It is considered bad netiquette to send messages to the list requesting help in unsubscribing.
   
3. Turn off the list when you go on vacation. It's like stopping your newspaper delivery. Some lists have a "vacation" option. For others, you have to unsubscribe when you leave and re-subscribe when you return. A high-traffic list can generate hundreds of messages a day and your system administrator will not be happy if you leave those messages piling up in your e-mail box. In fact, on some systems you will be charged for disk space storage.
