Hi All

Any opinions about which mailing list manager is better?

I realize the fundamental question is what kind of features are needed and how does it intend to be used?

I tried to install & configure mailman on sarge via apt-get - only because that's the m.l.m. of choice for GNU. The e-mail interface worked 'out of the box' but the web interfaces are/were a nightmare. Even then I only managed to make it work partially - broken images, lots of permission problems, etc.

        Pros...

        - each user has own web management interface
        - each list has own web management interface
        - reasonable documentation
        - large user community

I removed mailman and am now evaluating smartlist because that's Debian's m.l.m. choice.

        Pros...

        - procmail based

        Cons...

        - poor documentation
        - no web interface

Other common m.l.m.'s I came across are: majordomo, listserve...

The web interface is nice but not necessary for me - I can get by without it.

Needed are...

        - 'relative' customization ease
        - self administering (as most are)
        - archiving and retrieval
        - spam filtering [optional] - I'm running spamassassin
        - reliability & security

Advice/opinions welcome!

Thx Attila
