ListProc is similar to LISTSERV, and includes a good Web interface.ListProc (short for ListProcessor) works very similarly to LISTSERV, but some of the commands are different. ListProc includes a Web interface, so that you can subscribe, unsubscribe, change your configuration settings, read messages, and even read the message archives on Web pages.
