We too use Lyris. Pricey, but it offers tons of other features. Newsgroup and web interface as well as chat rooms.

Or like expecting the "export to html" feature common in most pc applications today to be the only thing you need to publish to the web. Although list servers and email servers both process emails, they are so different in features and capability that they really don't belong in a single product. This is exemplified by all the good email programs having lousy list servers and all the good list servers (thankfully) not even trying to be email servers. We opted to go with Lyris (expensive but excellent commercial software); there are also some good opensource list servers available. Either way, if you needs do grow beyond "basic", it's best to adopt a specialized solution. Everything else aside, it's great for us to run our list server on a physical server that is completely independent of our mailbox/smtp server for reliability and isolation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Imail Admin Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 5:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 2006 Listserver Amazing.
