[LI] Thoughts on moving to a new mailing list manager...

[Sudhakar Chandrasekharan <thaths@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

As all of you know we have been having some growing pains with the LI
mailing lists.  Some of the problems that come to mind include:

* Duplicate emails (The majordomo site tells me that this is because of a
broken flock() in Linux)
* Virus / worm infected mails getting through
* Volume of posts
* Difficulty in administering the lists (Over 600 bounced messages every
day)

So I am doing some research on alternatives to majordomo.  Here is a list
of features the mailing list manger needs to have (feel free to add to this
list):

* User controlled (un)subscription.
* Digests
* Archiving capability
* Spam filtering
* Regular expression based filtering
* Automatic handling of bounced messages

Do any of you know of any good alternatives to majordomo that is (and this
is important) free.  I came up with smartlist and listar as possible
alternatives.

Thaths
