Of course, I prefer installing from source, too. Especially when it comes to things like Mailman. The irony here is that for the NTP Public Services project, when I initially installed Mailman so that I could switch over from Majordomo (like, four or five years ago), I used the BSD port system. So, when it came time to do the upgrade to 2.1.9, I ended up using the BSD port system once again. > You could try installing freebsd instead of linux.

I may talk about the superiority of using BSD filesystems with Soft Updates for mail-related applications, and if people are curious then I'll be able to talk about that in more depth. But otherwise I've gotten to the point where I figure that most people aren't going to switch OSes just because I suggest it, and that my doing so just annoys them and doesn't have any positive impact. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006.
