Definitions for "Mail exploder"
Part of an e-mail delivery system that allows a message to be delivered to a list of addresses. Mail exploders are used to implement mailing lists. Users send messages to a single address and the mail exploder takes care of delivery to the individual mailboxes in the list. Some systems administrators prefer to receive mailing list mail at a local exploder address on their system, and to have a local mailing list that users can subscribe or unsubscribe to locally, rather than having each user subscribe to the various mailing lists separately. This helps control the amount of disk space used by copies of e-mail, and can also prevent problems that would occur if the user's ID changes locally or the account terminates on the host. See also e-mail address. WWWebfx Home Page
