Term: Mailing list Some mailing lists are like newsgroups, in that they allow people to discuss common interests by posting messages that are received by everyone in the group. However, unlike newsgroups, people must subscribe to a mailing list to post and receive messages. Mailing lists are not always so discussion oriented. Online merchants often use mailing lists to send things like newsletters, sales promotions, or other announcements to consenting customers.
