Q:

How can I view the recipients of LISTSERV super-lists?

Answer by Liam Kelly
Senior Consulting Analyst, L-Soft

The LISTSERV super-list/sub-list mechanism is a feature that allows a sender to post a message to a single super-list and have that message distributed to the subscribers of multiple sub-lists without the message being flagged by LISTSERV as probable spam due to excessive cross-posting. The sub-list feature is also the mechanism employed by LISTSERV Dynamic Query Lists (DQL) to address recipients stored in a database or LDAP directory.
