Yes. Why do you put up with such pain and suffering? > mailman no slackware package (?) No. But you'd be classified a true masochist if you used it, so that's alright. > ezmlm no slackware package (?) And qmail-specific anyway. There's an alternative for any MTA though, called mlmmj. > listserv no slackware package (?), is it free? Listserv has long been sold commercially. It's actually very good, even now, to be sure; a close approximation - perhaps even a replacement - is in Majordomo2, an entirely perl-based alternative that makes even Ecartis seem a little shy. (I use Ecartis though myself, because it's lovely, even if it's a bit rough. Now, Ecartis makes Mailman definitely look shy, or at least rather silly. Spend some time with the source.) > other packages? MLMMJ is quite easy to set up if you do plus addressing, but it works better on something besides Sendmail for use of the '-' extension char. It still works though and is AFAIK the only other MLM that will natively support VERP, not counting patches and mods to other MLMs and not counting entirely standalone alternatives like Sympa. MLMMJ, for Mailing List Management Made Joyful, is kind of nice for everybody to use because it uses the famous [EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax. There is Dada Mail, for a mostly one-way MLM. It's different, in that it requires no installation (it was meant for use on webhosts), and works by fetching gatewayed mails and bounces from POP boxes. Listmanager was written by a Sendmail guy (listmanager.org). It was closed source when I last looked (due to embarassment of the author, apparently) but it runs sendmail.org's lists. He provides easy-to-go binaries. Listproc, naturally, is the Listserv competitor of Bitnet that never made it. But you can still get the source, if you fancy it. And I've even seen it running occasionally on current lists. Doubtless, there are others, if only Google weren't so full of spam nowadays we could find them.
