This document describes how to support current mailing lists with minimal modifications to server software. Naturally, the easiest way to support a mailing list is to use First Virtual's Infohaus. Once a Volume Periodical is created, it is simple to just send email to the automagical email address returned from the Infohaus to have it automatically distributed to all who have purchased a subscription. However, there are times when this might not be appropriate.
Some moderators prefer private mailing lists, for example.
For this, the moderator may simply ask for the First Virtual Account ID during the subscription process. Note that care must be taken to remove in a timely way buyers who request to be removed from the mailing list.
