Hi folks,
As all of you know we have been having some growing pains with the LI
mailing lists. Some of the problems that come to mind include:
* Duplicate emails (The majordomo site tells me that this is because of a
broken flock() in Linux)
* Virus / worm infected mails getting through
* Volume of posts
* Difficulty in administering the lists (Over 600 bounced messages every
day)
So I am doing some research on alternatives to majordomo. Here is a list
of features the mailing list manger needs to have (feel free to add to this
list):
* User controlled (un)subscription.
* Digests
* Archiving capability
* Spam filtering
* Regular expression based filtering
* Automatic handling of bounced messages
Do any of you know of any good alternatives to majordomo that is (and this
is important) free. I came up with smartlist and listar as possible
alternatives.
Thaths
