Philip is very conscious of backwards compatibility, and very consciously broke it in the Exim 3 to Exim 4 transition, because the old configuration system and the old way of managing messages had been outgrown by reality. There are several configuration defaults which are suboptimal in today's world, but are not being changed because they would break backwards compatibility. Most Exim version upgrades are a matter of making the change, then deciding what new features to use and adding them to the config (and perhaps removing workarounds for feature lacks and bugs which have been fixed). But at any rate, Exim 3 to ?? Is a very good opportunity to consider Postfix rather than Exim 4 as the ??. Mailman 2.x to 3.0 will likely present a similar opportunity to look around at what else there is. (The seemingly never-ending lack of Majordomo 2 was what moved us to Mailman from Majordomo.) --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
