It all depends on your Content filtering.
Well, everyone, my disadvantages/advantages list was successful in

There were a few holdouts, but the main players decided that the list

Drupal is free, and it has a module called Mailman Manager that integrates
Mailman with Drupal. The site can be your files repository. As a bonus,
your list members can manage their subscriptions through the Drupal

FWIW, a friend had to fall back to BCCs for a specific announcement list
because over half the 80 list members are on aol/comcrap/yahoo/hotmail
(DMARC) and the mailman installation isn't fully up to date. For these
specific circumstances, it works, but neither of us would try it for more

Hey, everyone. Thanks for your feedback on my request for

Besides the points Barry made, I would add:

I would have thought the biggest problem with a Cc list is keeping the list up
