Yahoo! Groups is an electronic mailing list service provided by Yahoo!. Over the years, Yahoo! has bought several other mailing list providers, including the popular eGroups, and combined them into one system. Thus, Yahoo! Groups is now by far the most popular and well-known provider of electronic mailing list facilities.
The category tree of topics in which the groups are sorted is taken from Open Directory Project.
As well as providing e-mail relaying and archiving facilities for the many lists it hosts, the Yahoo! Groups service provides additional functions, such as voting and calendar systems. This has helped persuade many large users to continue using the service, since these "value added" elements would be harder to provide on their own servers.
