Hello Douglas, On Monday, January 12, 2004 at 4:23:52 PM you [DH] wrote (at least in part):
[MailMan] DH> Does this make a difference in relation using BatPost or ADR? Yes. The most significant one would be: using "their" MailMan you send /one/ message to /one/ address (the lists address). The rest is done in a 100MBit-or-More network. Using ADR or BatPost you'd send: - either one message per list member - or one message with one BCC entry per list member Both time the send process will definitely take longer than when using an "external" MailMan. And it will block your line during this. And this it will happen for /every/ message a list member posts. If you have only 20-30 members you'll not need BatPost, and most probably not even ADR. If you have a significant number of members, want bounce checking and not block your line and keep it opened only because one foreign mail server responds slowly you'll not want to use anything running on your PC nor on your side of the line. Do yourself a favour: Use "their" MailMan. Administration is relative easy and initial subscription can be done via SSH (so not everybody needs to subscribe manually if you already have a list of addresses). -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v2.03 Beta/31 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1) A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation. ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
