The Prostatitis Mailing List is software that allows you to receive and post to the sci.med.prostate.prostatitis newsgroup via e-mail. The list is one of several medical lists provided as a free service by St. John's University .
Some people prefer newsgroup reader access while others prefer e-mail access.
The mailing list is now moderated, so personal slanders and flames are not permitted. Although flames, insults and obscenities from the newsgroup are screened out of the listserv, your listserv message is still posted to the newsgroup. This, itself, has several advantages and disadvantages. This sometims shocks some correspondents who have used their work e-mail addresses or full personal name, without realizing how public their statements were. See our moderation page for some suggestions how to deal with this.
