Until the developers make the unsubscribe "feauture" more pronounced in Mailman, you're always going to have lord knows how many screaming people on your list who don't know how to unsubscribe. It's terrible.... check out the Redhat mailing lists sometime! > >Anthony > In fact, mailing lists are the best place to find out about programs. Just watch and read for a few weeks and you'll have a very good idea about what to expect. Also, look at their archives. I was considering mailman and tracked the mailing list, plus have been subscribed to lists using MM and decided it was not ready for prime time yet. I use majordomo which does the job well... (of course I will tout what I use!) it's easy to operate and has a solid performance record. Plus, it's free too if the is part of the criteria. Best regards, Jack L.
