"LISTSERV is the first electronic mailing list software application,
originally developed in 1984 by Ira Fuchs, Daniel Oberst, and Ricky
Hernandez, of EDUCAUSE, for the Bitnet computer network. It quickly
became a key service on that network. An updated version, originally
called Revised Listserv, was issued by Eric Thomas in 1986. Later it was
ported to a variety of platforms and taken up by the Internet community.
By the year 2000, LISTSERV was assisting more than 30 million users by
transmitting more than 20 million messages per day."
