From: Prodos (Melbourne, Australia) To: Paul H Byerly Dear Paul,
Thanks for your comments .... [Prodos:] > >I'm writing to ask about comparing Mailman with YahooGroups. > > > >Would anyone on this list care to offer a comparison? > [Paul:] > Mailman does not allow posting from the archives. Ah! Good point. That's a big minus. > There is a program know as M2F that will tie Mailman and > phpbb together - see > <http://m2f.sourceforge.net>http://m2f.sourceforge.net (public beta). > I've not yet tried that integration, but it looks promising. Mailman does > not have a files section, or calender. Thanks. I'll have a look at it. > It does not have a built in archive > search, but one that far exceeds Yahoo's can be easily added. Do you (or other mailman-users members) know where I can find the "patch" for that please? > HTML is not well supported. > Okay. [Prodos:] > >Or, if you are an ex-YahooGroups user, say why you changed > >to Mailman? > [Paul:] > Yahoo has been increasingly unreliable, and the ads are worse and > worse. Some of the list moved from Yahoo to Mailman are now boards run > on phpbb - look at both and see what best fits your needs, or look at the > M2F method of combining the two > Thanks for that suggestion. =]:-) PRODOS http://prodos.com - Internet Radio "Discover the power.
