L-Soft has released Listserv 15.5, an update of the email list manager. The update offers additional usability, efficiency and integration benefits across all user levels of the original email list software, according to Eric Thomas, L-Soft founder and CEO.
Listserv supports RSS feeds, allowing subscribers to view email list messages using an RSS reader. Version 15.5 introduces support for RSS abstracts that are generated automatically from the text of the message—or may be specified explicitly.
In addition, Listserv 15.5 can connect to LDAP servers to authenticate user log-ins, to insert LDAP attributes in mail-merge distributions and to implement dynamic queries, against either LDAP or traditional DBMS servers. For example, administrators can use an LDAP query against an Active Directory server to grant list owner privileges to all members of a particular Windows Security Group.
Listserv offers built-in virus protection, supports DomainKeys and includes a deliverability assessment, which analyzes Listserv and DNS configurations and gives suggestions for improving deliverability. Listserv is available for all major operating systems, including Mac OS X. Contact L-Soft for pricing options.
