<ul> <li>The beginnings of <span class="nowrap">L-Soft</span> trace back to 1986 when <a href="ericthomas.asp">Eric Thomas</a>, an engineering student in Paris, develops a software program to automate the management of email lists. Before this, all lists had to be administered manually, which was so cumbersome and time-consuming that it threatened the viability of email lists altogether. Eric Thomas' email list management program turned out to be a huge success and became known as LISTSERV.</li> <li>Eric Thomas later moves to Geneva, Switzerland, and then to Stockholm, Sweden, and continues to develop LISTSERV.</li> </ul> <h3>1994</h3> <img src="/web/20240114000022im_/https://www.lsoft.com/images/history_1994-1.gif" alt="L-Soft is incorporated" title="L-Soft is incorporated" class="image-right hide-xs"/> <ul> <li>In February of 1994, Eric Thomas incorporates <span class="nowrap">L-Soft</span> in the United States so that LISTSERV, which has by now become the global standard for email list management, can be developed further and ported from VM to other operating systems, such as Unix and VMS.</li> <li>In May of 1994, <span class="nowrap">L-Soft</span> launches the first version of LISTSERV for VMS and Unix.</li> </ul> <h3>1995</h3> <img src="/web/20240114000022im_/https://www.lsoft.com/images/history_1995-1.gif" alt="LISTSERV introduces first spam filter" title="LISTSERV introduces first spam filter" class="image-right hide-xs"/> <ul> <li><span class="nowrap">L-Soft</span> releases LISTSERV for Windows NT, along with new versions of the VM, VMS and Unix products.</li> <li>LISTSERV for Windows 95 is launched the same day as Windows 95.</li> <li>LISTSERV introduces its first spam filter.
