Roman,
I have been running listproc for a year and just started running majordomo
on another site.
The most apparent differences were:
- majordomo is free. listproc costs several thousand dollars
- listproc is easier to setup. yes its true :)
- listproc is multithreaded, and allows you to configure 'n'
threads per list, and 'm' threads system wide. So you can
assign, say, 10 threads to a heavy list and just 1 on a small
one.
I guess the bottom line is that you get what you pay for. Listproc is
extremely expensive, but for a really huge site with many thousand member
lists, it could probably blow the socks of majordomo. Its also written
entirely in C, not perl, and is inherently faster.
But I would find it hard to justify purchasing listproc for small to
medium sites, since majordomo would offer me the most bang for the buck.
I also like the fact that almost all big free softwares have lots of
support and tools, not from a company but from the thousands of people
who use them.
Just my 2 cents. Not intended to start a religious war please.
Thanks,
naeem
