LISTSERV Maestro

The next version of LISTSERV Maestro, 2.1, is currently in beta-testing. Even as the next major version is under development, minor updates continue to be announced. The latest minor update, 2.0-11, was released on November 9. Since LISTSERV Maestro 2.0 was first released in December 2004, several new features and bug fixes have been included in minor releases, for example a spam checking function and support for Mac OS X. These minor releases are only announced on the Product Update lists, so be sure to follow the link below to subscribe and stay up-to-date.

L-Soft and Web Analytics Vendor
Sane Solutions Enhance Partnership

Building on an existing partnership, L-Soft's LISTSERV Maestro was featured in an October 19 Sane Solutions press release among a handful of "best of breed" solutions that integrate with Sane's NetTracker Web analytics solutions. Previously, L-Soft and Sane Solutions co-developed a preliminary white paper demonstrating one of the ways that LISTSERV Maestro can be used in conjunction with NetTracker to evaluate overall campaign effectiveness. Look for updates on the partnership in upcoming issues of LISTSERV at Work.


Tech Tip

Q: How can I add a one-click unsubscribe link to the footer of my LISTSERV list postings?

Answer by Liam Kelly
Senior Consulting Analyst, L-Soft

Most LISTSERV list owners are interested in making it as easy as possible for subscribers to join or leave their lists. Thanks to the new Embedded Mail-Merge (EMM) feature of LISTSERV 14.4, unsubscribing from a LISTSERV list has never been easier. List owners can now easily add a banner to each list posting containing a Web link that subscribers may click to be automatically removed from the list – even if they don't know under what email address they're subscribed

Tech Tip

Q: How can I put an unsubscribe link into my LISTSERV Maestro mailings?

Answer by Johannes Hubert
LISTSERV Maestro Project Manager,
L-Soft

If you keep your recipient lists as hosted lists in the Recipient Warehouse of LISTSERV Maestro, then including an unsubscribe link in a mailing to such a list is very simple. For this purpose, LISTSERV Maestro offers a special "system drop-in" called "*UnsubscribeURL" that you can simply include in your email message content.

LISTSERV®: The Trademark

Did you know that LISTSERV® is a registered trademark? Although it is a common mistake to use LISTSERV as a generic term to describe email list management software or email lists, the term LISTSERV® is registered to Eric Thomas, CEO and founder of L-Soft and creator of LISTSERV®, the original email list management software.

When using the term LISTSERV on your Website or other communications, please note it in the first mention as LISTSERV®. For subsequent mentions, it can be noted as LISTSERV.

L-Soft works to protect the LISTSERV trademark. If you notice any generic uses of the term by other companies or media, please notify us at trademarks@lsoft.com

Thank you for your help in keeping the LISTSERV trademark strong!
