This list is somewhat inaccurate. Although the base SmartList package (which
has gone mostly unmodified for around 2 years because the original author has
lamentably moved on to other projects) does not include a subscription
confirmation option, an add-on written by Michelle Dick gives it this
capability, and it works quite decently, thank you. It is mentioned in
the online FAQ for SmartList.
I must have missed the previous post in this thread, does the above list
come from the new O'Reilly mailing list book?
The SmartList user community (not nearly as moribund or uncaring as some
might believe) is looking to set up a group to take over maintenance of
the product, which IMHO has several advantages over MajorDomo.
I've used both, I prefer SmartList. The underlying engine for SmartList,
the procmail filter, is solid enough that it is supported as a configuration
option in sendmail.
