Best is subjective... Lets look at what is available, (that I have used) Smartlist would have to be one of the most powerful, and reliable List servers I have used, - it has a slightly steeper learning curve, but very powerfull, and extendable. Mailman is one of the easiest I have used, and works OK. not as easy to extend if needed, however it does have a wider feature set than most, out of the box. It can be a touch unreliable, and does have it's problems with larger lists (to be fair, version 2.0 (currently in beta) is addressing this issue. Sympa - I have not used - no comment MajorDomo - pain in the backside to learn - very reliable. IMHO you would best be served by Mailman 2.0 beta3 (http://www.list.org) it would be easiest to use. === Subject: Re: best mailing list software From: Fred Whipple <fred@imagineis.com> Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2000 20:17:52 -0400 Erik, IMHO, mailman (www.list.org) is really good. It can be a little tricky to setup at first -- or at least the version I downloaded had some installation issues which differed from the docs -- but once you have it setup, it's dirt simple to create a new list and configure it. ===
