I have been a list admin for lists hosted on NTList on a remote site.

In general it sems quite efficient at turning mail around, but 
featurewise, I hink it's diaboloical, and I'd strongly recommend 
ppl to keep clear of it.

Limitations include: no NOMAIL mode, no filtering of duplicate
messages or administrivia, no subscription confirmation procedure,
switching from MAIL to DIGEST mode needs admin approval on non-open
lists, etc. [There are more: that's just the start...]

It's not just poorer than something like Lstserv: it's weaker than 
just about every other piece of list software I have tried, and that 
includes the DOS software I use to run backup lists when remote 
servers fall down.

Hugs,
Claire
