The mailing list that goes with an IP is to ensure that the Lynx 'c' - Comment - command functions correctly, sending mail to the group that is responsible for the content. Originally, we were maintaining the lists by hand (through zmailer lists) but when we got to >100 IPs, it ended up being a real maintenance problem. So we switched to majordomo lists to enable the IP to maintain the recipient list themselves. Usually, these are low volume lists so the system resource consumption is not excessive. Where it shows up is on the IP "Install", which calls 'rcsinit' which calls 'headerinit'. 'headerinit' pastes the RCS line and a <link rev="made" ...> on the top of every HTML file installed. Eliminating the mailing list will mean you also have to do something about the install. Gerard MacNeil, P. Eng.
