Re: Mail List

[Chris Albertson <chrisalbertson90278@yahoo.com>]

I just went through installing "mailman" on a server
last week.  It was simple.  Took about an hour and that
included a compile and reading the docs.  It can be
set up on any server that can send and receive e-mail.
All you need is a UNIX-like machine and a DSL line.
One advantage of running our own server is that we
could make a set of sub-lists, e-mail/news gateways
and so on.  Admin is via the web so the list admin
need not be co-located with the server.  I'll even
contribute a small Sun SPARC server if required.  It
is an approx 11 inch cube that runs headless. (no CRT
or K/B.)
