If using another machine to run a mailing list, an option is using an
inexpensive old Macintosh running OS9 or older, and using the free
application Macjordomo:
http://macjordomo.med.cornell.edu/
It uses 2 POP user accounts on your mail server, and is rock solid. The
GUI setup & admin is sweet. We ran our 1000+ members lists on it since
1997. Changed over to core Majordomo recently to strip the HTML
formatting that is becoming more and more a fact of life these days -
that's the one thing Macjordomo won't do. The Macjordomo Digests
structure look a little better than Majordomo's due to post numbering,
etc.
Now that Mac OSX sits on FreeBSD UNIX, I bet it's only a matter of time
before someone creates a Mac interface for Majordomo/Sendmail.
