Washington, DC (December 3, 1998) – In search of a scalable and flexible electronic mailing list solution, MiningCo.com, the Internet guide network, has selected LISTSERV® software for the administration of their 350+ e-mail newsletters. The growing popularity of MiningCo.com's newsletters led them to upgrade their former mail system to a solution that can reliably handle greater e-mail workloads as well as numerous topic-specific newsletters. After evaluating several solutions, MiningCo.com selected LISTSERV software as the best option for its ability to easily manage their expanding mailing list requirements.
Recently ranked by Media Metrix as the #8 site for News/Information/Entertainment and by RelevantKnowledge as the 28th most popular property on the Web, MiningCo.com has deployed an extensive newsletter program to provide customized information conveniently delivered directly to subscribers' in-boxes.
