CERN Technical Training 2005: IT3T - IT Technical Training Tutorials (Summer 2005) The new Listbox service interface SIMBA2 is a tool browsed everyday by a big amount of Listbox users. The different views for owners or members of the lists and the settings saved by them is capital for the correct function of the list. In this presentation we will introduce the Listbox Platform and the web interfaces and services that support it. How to deal with external accounts, creation of mailing lists and their classification in Human Resources, External or Normal Lists. How to operate with lists in Bulk and the importance of the archiving permissions. A special part of the presentation will show the criteria that listbox is using for authentication of mails against mail bombing, worms and spammers. The different ways to subscribe and unsubscribe to mailing lists and what are the main differences with the old platform. We will also dedicate a high level technical part for those who are administrators of mailing lists and want to reach the lists.
