  organized around a specific topic, through the

  administrative address and list address.
  Administrative address is for you to subscribe
  (get on the list) and unsubscribe (get off the
  list). The List address is for communicating to
  the other members of the discussion group. When
  you send email to this address, it gets
  distributed to everyone else on the list.
