Q. How Can I Set Up Automatic Checks of LISTSERV Maestro's Operations and Have the Notifications Sent to My Email Address?
Answer by Ben Parker
Chief Corporate Consultant, L-Soft
This can be done by using the Auto-Repeat Job feature of LISTSERV Maestro (Version 1.2-4 and later) to send a daily job to LISTSERV. Along the way, a trackable link and the date and time of the job execution is mail-merged in. In addition, LISTSERV replies to several informational commands. The fact that this mail-merging and command/response testing succeeds and the message is successfully delivered to you is an indication that all six component parts of the LISTSERV Maestro system are running correctly.

Success Story: Syracuse University
One of the core tenets of the official vision of Syracuse University is to be a leading student-centered research university with faculty, students, and staff sharing responsibility and working together for academic, professional and personal growth.
In 1987, when LISTSERV itself was only a year old, Syracuse installed their first copy of the email list management software on an IBM 3090 computer running the VM operating system. At the time no one realized that online communities would become so widespread. LISTSERV proved to be an unanticipated benefit in that regard.
