the most important hardware, software and networking requirements for running LISTSERV. More details and operating system-specific information can be found in the LISTSERV installation guides. Note that these configurations are simply examples to ensure good performance, not minimum requirements.</p> <h3>Requirements</h3> <ul> <li class="item">A computer with a fixed connection to the Internet</li> <li class="item">A static IP address assigned to the computer running LISTSERV</li> <li class="item">A Fully Qualified Domain Name for the computer running LISTSERV (DNS A Record)</li> <li class="item">Web server software on the computer running LISTSERV (For example, IIS or Apache)</li> <li class="item">An SMTP-compliant mail server through which to send outgoing mail</li> </ul> <h3>Example Configurations</h3> <p>LISTSERV runs on a wide variety of hardware options.
