Something to keep an eye on. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 15:17:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Bill Houle <bhoule@sparc.sandiegoca.ncr.com> To: majordomo-workers@GreatCircle.COM Subject: MailMan I saw a reference to the "GNU Mailing List Manager" in the upcoming USENIX/LISA'98 conference presentations. Hadn't heard of it before, but a quick search turned up http://www.list.org/. The product is beta and a 1.0 release, but here's the feature list: o Most standard mailing list features, including list moderation, mail based commands, digests, and so on. o An extensive web-based user interface that is customizable on a per-list basis. o A web-based list administration interface for all admin-type tasks, including list configuration, moderation, and so on. o Automatic web-based hypermail-style archiving, including provisions for private archives. o Integrated mail list to newsgroup gatewaying. Integrated newsgroup to mail list gatewaying. o Smart bounce detection and correction. o Integrated fast bulk mailing (useful for sendmail users). o Smart spam protection. o Multiple list owners and moderators are possible. o Optional (per-user) MIME-compliant digests. o Nice about which machine you subscribed from if you're from the right domain. All in all, its in line with what we already planned with Mj2. Auto-hyper-archiving is basically an integrated Wilma. Norbert's got the bounce processing covered. MIME. Bulk mailer. etc. I like the integrated mail2news -- this was mainly what I was aiming for with my "virtual lists" concept discussed last week. I'll check out the web part and see how its customization compares to MajorCool. --bill
