What is a mailing list? || Local lists || National lists || Bird lists ||Specialist groups and others
Mailing lists are for email users - so that's just about everyone who uses the internet. They are one of the oldest means of mass communication through the internet. They are nothing more than lists of people who are interested in a certain topic. In recent years the growth of web-based email lists has meant that these have become much easier to set up and use, and have grown tremendously in popularity. They have superceded Usenet newsgroups in many ways. They do, however, come and go quite a bit, so some of the links on this page will not work (sorry) and there will be many groups missing. If you think we should be listing one and it is not there then tell us so.
Using a mailing list is simple. Just click on the link below and you will be taken to the homepage of the group - usually part of Yahoo groups - where you will find instructions on how to join. Any problems, ask us. It's also worth noting that, unlike newsgroups, mailing lists tend to (usually) be quite civilised and free of spam. Announcement-only groups tend to be ones which you can subscribe to but not directly contribute to.
The following listings include a small part of the descriptive text the group manager has written. If we know anything else, we'll add a comment. We can't promise that you will actually get what they say, and of course some groups are not very active.
