Finding a list that may interest you is easy thanks to the World Wide Web. Several sites exist that categorise mailing lists into subjects and/or topics. There are thousands of mailing lists used to discuss every subject imaginable. Several Web sites act as mailing list indexes and can help you find the list you want. Some indexes include search engines that enable you to search for keywords of interest.

Newsletters And Other One-Way Lists
There is a specialised kind of mailing list where the communication is one
way.
You, as a subscriber, can't contribute - you can only read it. Mailing lists
such as this are perfect for newsletters, journals, and underground publications
because interested parties can get informative news and information without
all the costs involved in distributing conventional issues of a publication.
Many Web sites provide this service to their regular readers. You can subscribe to their free mailing list by filling out a form on their Web site and get daily news updates delivered whenever you log on to the Net to retrieve your email.
