dear all,
i was truly happy to get to know of the existence of mailman
(and its features) from our sysadmin, a few days ago;
it is truly nice to read mailman has most of the features
commercial & expensive listserv has ...
i have a few questions:
(a) does mailman make a copy of the message to each of the
recipients (as majordomo does) or does it work in the form
of a (listserv) job such as
//V22.5y JOB Echo=yes
DISTRIBUTE MAIL
//TO DD *
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear colleagues, ...
bla bla blah ...
___
end of message
i.e. sending the message with distribution list to a server
and "exploding" the contents due to some routing tables
arrangement, saving much bandwidth and cpu time, etc. ...
The example above is a critical factor for the acceptance of
Mailman. In this respect, Majodomo is truly poor (excuse
me);
(b) also, i would like to know of any "good combination" of
a mailer (other than sendmail) and mailman ...
and ...
(c) if which (if any) linux or bsd distribution is stable
for large emailing lists.
cheers,
