Mailinglists

Note from the webmaster

An overview of interesting e-mail listservers about education and training. This list is a compilation of several older lists I found and/or made. Some of this addresses may be obsolete. Some of these mailinglists may not even exist any more. I am sorry about that, but I am unable to check these all. The reason? In my childhood as a websurveyer I took a day in the Christmas-term to enlist in about 15 mailinglists. I wanted to be WITH IT! It took my 5 days to clean my folders and read all the news. We are curious, are we not! While reading my mailserver delivered 300 messages every day. I gave up.

These listservers have been watched for several weeks, in some cases for months. Internet changes rapidly. If any of these addresses are not correct or if a listserver has been removed from a server please inform us.

If you find a listserver that might be interesting to all of us please mail a message

If you are looking for a mailinglist that is not mentioned try the Listserver-search engine
