OnlineGroups.net changes the posts that people make to your groups to make them more suitable for the medium of group email.

How to create a listserv with OnlineGroups.net
It is easy to create a listserv with OnlineGroups.net. In this how-to we walk you though the steps required to start your own listserv, on its own site, and get all the new members up and running.
Multiple email addresses
People are more than just an email address. At OnlineGroups.net we understand this, and give everyone the power to add multiple email addresses to their profiles, and customise what addresses are used with each group. This is in stark contrast with a traditional listserv, which only allows members to have a single address each.
A page for your listserv
With OnlineGroups.net you have a site for your organisation. Your site can contain an unlimited number of groups. Each group is more than a listserv, it is also a place for your group on the web.
Different lists for different needs
Groups are different, so OnlineGroups.net supplies different types of listservs to support these different needs.
A site with multiple groups
One of the big advantages of a site with OnlineGroups.net over a normal listserv is that your site can have multiple groups, so it better suits the needs of your organisation and the group members.
Listserv (mailing list) basics
A group on OnlineGroups.net is very much like a listserv, also known as a mailing list. In this post we discuss the basics of how a listserv works, and how OnlineGroups.net improves on the basic functionality.
HTML email from your groups
OnlineGroups.net is about to introduce email messages formatted using HTML. This will make the messages easier to read, make the online archive easier to find, and improve the identity of your site and groups.
A better manage members page
Managing the members of a group is never a fun task. Today we have made some changes to OnlineGroups.net to make this aspect of the administering a group easier.
Export messages and export membership
OnlineGroups.net gives you the ability to export the group membership and export the messages. This allows you to keep your own backup of the membership and posts. (We keep backups, but you may want your own.) You may also export the information and leave OnlineGroups.net and use another service. While we would be sad to… Read more »
