TULP implements a subset of the commands of the well known LISTSERV, used mainly in the Bitnet world. It can also be used, in a very limited manner, as a mail-server for text archives. TULP allows an easy management of mailing-lists. Once they are created by the TULP-manager, users can subscribe, signoff, get the list of subscribers, or retrieve past articles by sending mail to an automatic software manager.
