The FEATURES file of the package "SmartList",which is associated with
procmail and available at
ftp://ftp.net.ohio-state.edu/pub/networking/mail/procmail
or
ftp://hub.psg.com/pub/unix/procmail
or various other mirrors,
makes the claim
+ Enough intelligence to overcome the ignorance of some subscribers (will
direct subscribe and unsubscribe requests away from the regular list and
automatically onto the -request address)
+ No hardwired format for (un)subscribe requests (i.e. new subscribers
need not be educated, unsubscribing users do not need to remember any
particular syntax)
Have you evaluated SmartList for your boss's purposes? Perhaps thinking of
using Majordomo is a case of to a person with a hammer everything looks
like a nail; rather than be screwed maybe what you really need is a
screwdriver. ;-)
Blessed Be. -MarkM-
