Would anyone on this list care to offer a comparison?
Or, if you are an ex-YahooGroups user, say why you changed
to Mailman? Or, if you know of an already existing comparison
online somewhere, perhaps you could send me the URL.
For pure mailing list capabilities, MM (and other "real mailing list managers" such as Lsoft's Listserv, majordomo, etc) have Yahoo groups beat hands down.
* no advertising (some of which is of less than acceptable topics for lists my kids get!)
* Better response time (depending on your connection)
But if you are enamored with the extra features in yahoogroups such as
the calendar, file sharing, etc - you might be disappointed. None of
these others have any of that. Just as well since I hate those things
anyway...
Yes--if you're looking for community-based mailing lists, MM will not do... I've toyed with writing something around MM to more emulate the YahooGroups functionality that way, as A) I _was_ a user of those features B) People I know who run groups on Yahoo, haven't taken me up on my offer of hosting on my server, because MM *doesn't* offer calendars, integrated web-posting, et cetera, that they actively use.on Yahool. Unfortunately, it's the old axiom: It's a Simple Matter of Programming. Now to only find the _time_ to do that programming. :-/
