Sheesh, everybody's ragging on Majordomo here. It's really not a bad
solution, folks. Not as good at this point as some of the others, but it
still works just fine. Switching from one list package to another's not
rocket science either--jumping off it to, say ezmlm (or even a
topica-hosted list) would take maybe twenty minutes.
If you're going to grumble at it you really ought to have run a list or two
under it first. Criticism based on hearsay's not that useful a place to
start a discussion.
