Running a discussion list using email CCs is, IMHO, unwieldy to the point of being unusable. A point which I didn't see in your lists is the fact that in some mail clients, addresses that stop working can derail the mailout so that every subsequent address in the list doesn't get a post. I just set up a Mailman announcement list for some folks who were having this problem, trying to run their list from BCCs stored in the list owner's mail client, and the problems of trying to run a discussion list this way, with a CC list, would be an order of magnitude greater. I'd never try it with a list of more than a dozen people, at the most, but then I have ready access to my own mail server and Mailman installation :) Mail clients vary substantially in how they handle DSNs and NDRs, and without centralized control over this you'd have chaos! Mail clients vary widely in their quality, behavior and adherence to published standards. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
