Rion, in your first post, the compatibility for the LSoft listserv lists
both Linux and Unix. Where's the mystery?
Hi Rubin. Thanks for asking; i tried google-searching to find out for
myself.
The mystery is/was that a supposed unix box is serving .asp/.exe documents
and as my
post queried: does linux/apache have the capability to do so out of the
OSS box AOT the lsoft box?
I noticed that lsoft-listserv 1.14 runs/ran on linux hosts though, so i
suppose linux runs 1.16 also,
does it require/use some kind of a mono module to handle .NET?
A bit of reading seems to indicate that lsoft is a big popular package
(lotsa functionality)
that the school found it appealing over other listserv applications is
probably not surprising.
In web searching, discovered osdir.org runs it also. Is it suitable for
SoHo or mid-sized orgs?
So, my original observation, poorly expressed as usual, was noticing the
change and being curious about lsoft, in general and
about possible trade-off this environment exhibit related to .asp served by
linux
www.linux.com/archive/feature/53582
compared to straight sendmail/postfix mailman and whether it
factors/scales in light of
databases, webservers, and specially proxying for clustered/NATted hosts.
apache and a dso (mod_mono? - http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page)
or is it apache tomcat running java servlets (eclipse)?
I'd be curious to know why UVM decided to drop mailman (or was it
majordomo?) and go with lsoft (classic?).
Was it more related to sub-clustering, maybe db overhead, or just a matter
of a better application's
UI accessibility/ease of use.
Does this listserv reside on same host(s) as SMTP? an AFS/GFS mount-point?
I thought I preferred a 'thin' mailman; just a bunch of cgi-scripts, low
overhead on port 80 if it has to
be on the same host as 25/110/587/993.
Despite being fw'd to one remote host, thinking about it, i'm gonna remove
apache from mail*.* in favor of lighthttpd
or similiar, since its only accessed by one proxy for mailman users.
I've always setup mailman and sendmail on same host, but am curious whether
its possible for mailman to access remote smtp host.

That pdf is rather terse. Choose DBMS, compile, setup web interface and
cgi-bin and go.
Next, please choose which DB modules to link with.
OCI? (Requires that SQL*Net is installed on the local machine.) [y/n] n
DB2? (Requires that DB2 be installed on the local machine.) [y/n] n
UODBC? (Requires that unixODBC be installed on the local machine. DB2 must
be disabled.) [y/n] n

For Sendmail, see the Telling Sendmail about LISTSERV section.
For Postfix, see both the Sendmail section and the Telling Postfix about
LISTSERV section.
For qmail, see the Telling qmail about LISTSERV section.
Are you guys able to run mySQL via ODBC? Or do you run Oracle?
Anyhow, I was just being curious and another 45 minutes of web-sniffing
didn't yield much by way of answers.
