since this list is apparently working again...
what are people doing / planning on doing for when their 10.4 machines
will eventually not be any good anymore? i use mailman (included in
OSX Server) for a newer small list. but need something for my few-
dozen other lists including one larger-ish (5000+ people) broadcast
list. something that presumably offers a somewhat easy method of
importing the older LetterRip data.
what i have looked at so far :
majordomo - looks considerably less feature rich than LetterRip... in
initial looking anyway. wasn't impressed. even slightly.
mailman - not so pleased with this one really. it's *okay*... just not
the best thing ever. almost reminds me of my previous ListStar
honestly. in that the simple things i want to happen are overly
convoluted for (seemingly) the sake of convolution.
listserv - costs $ (my 'big' list is considered 'small' there... so
might not be too expensive really) ... seems like it has some nice
features. RSS of posts looks nice... i was going to do a third-party
script to do this on LetterRip. also doesn't seem to have a built-in
SMTP server. i always liked having the list server traffic separate
from normal email traffic... was a bigger issue in the past perhaps
(when things were running in OS9 / 266Mhz iMacs...)
does anyone have any experience migrating LetterRip lists to any of
these other systems? or perhaps know of others?
not a huge immediate need... but something i imagine will be needed
sooner rather than later. i'm probably not the only one.
thanks!
