Interactive Net Server (WIN Server(TM)) that creates and administers Internet E-mail distribution lists. With wcListServe, a system administrator can instantly reach out and communicate with Internet E-mail users around the world, and users don't even need to log into the system since messages are automatically delivered directly to their mailboxes. wcListServe is remarkably easy to set up and manage and also very simple for customers, callers, and subscribers to use.

wcListServe can easily create distribution lists, making it ideal for use in issuing product update and technical support information to customers. Moreover, since it supports the building of two-way lists as well, users can be permitted to read conferences stored on the WIN Server without being required to actually log into the server. The versatile wcListServe also provides system administrators with the additional flexibility to block out certain users in order to reduce the number of trivial messages that are posted. "In order to build an on-line community, it is necessary to create increasing levels of interactivity for users," said Jim Harrer, president and chief executive officer of Mustang Software. "wcListServe is yet one more add-on to WIN Server that brings us closer to our vision of providing all of the software tools necessary to support the creation of what is effectively a user-defined site," he added. wcListServe will automatically create list digests based on the number of messages the list administrator configures so that multiple messages can be merged into a single E-mail -- a significant benefit to users that regularly receive a large number of E-mail messages. It can also access any ODBC-compatible database for its list of subscribers, thus making it simple for administrators to access an existing customer database and add or remove names from the list in bulk mode. wcListServe works with WIN Server's built-in SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821.
