It is a list of E-mail addresses identified by a particular single name, such as mail-list@bodhost.com. When an e-mail message is sent to the mailing list name, it is automatically forwarded to all the addresses in the list.Most of the E-mail clients support mailing lists, which makes you to broadcast E-mail messages to groups that you define. In addition, there are mailing list servers that manage centralized mailing lists for groups of users.Subscribing and unsubscribing to the list is accomplished by sending a properly formatted email message to the list server.

There are two types of mailing lists:
Moderated
and
Unmoderated.
To send a message to an unmoderated list, you must email it to the list server which automatically emails your message to every name on the list. To send a message to a moderated list, you email it to the mailing list’s moderator who would then send it on to the list server for distribution.
These mailing lists are always rented or sold. If rented, the renter agrees to use the mailing list for only contractually agreed-upon times. The owner mailing list typically enforces this by “salting” the mailing list with fake addresses and creating new salts for each time the list is rented. Unscrupulous renters may attempt to bypass salts by renting several lists and merging them to find the common, valid addresses.
