BCPost is powered by Sympa mailing list software.

Was your list migrated from the Majordomo Listserv system?

Why use BCPost for group discussion?

  • Using a listserv, you can reach every member (subscriber) of the list using one simple email address.
  • There is no need to create and maintain an address book in your email client; you do not need to know each participant's individual email address. BCPost insures that all parties are working with the same list.
  • BCPost can be restricted, which means that only people approved by the list owner can join the list.
  • BCPost messages can a be monitored, which means that all posts are reviewed and approved by the list owner before being distributed (posted) to the entire list.
  • Subscribers do not need to have a BC email address, however requests for new lists must come from a BC email address.

How is BCPost different from BC's previous listserv service?

  • BCPost's Web component allows users to subscribe and work with lists through a Web browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer.
  • Subscribers may select to receive messages in a digest format or opt to only receive message headers. If subscribers prefer not to have messages delivered to their email account, they have the option to read and post solely through the Web component.
  • Archived messages may be accessed, searched and read on-line. You don't need to store messages in your email account.
