In an ideal world, there'd be one place you could go to retrieve
a compilation of every available mailing list--and there are tens
of thousands of them out there. In reality, several superlists
exist, and while they overlap to some degree, none is completely
comprehensive. Here are a few:
The huge Liszt directory contains more
than 50,000 automated and human-managed mailing lists on every
conceivable topic, plus its own search engine, which works by
subject. Once you find the list you want, subscribe right on the
spot via an e-mail link.
Publicly Accessible Mailing
Lists references lists by name and subject, and it includes a brief
description as well as contact information.
You can also try Tile.net Lists, which
groups automated listserv mailing lists by name, subject, description,
sponsor, or host country. It also includes e-mail links and subscription
instructions.
